Here's the recipe for the "Captivating Crème Brûlée with Whiskey Infusion":

Ingredients:

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup whole milk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

4 large egg yolks

2 tablespoons whiskey (choose your favourite brand)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Extra granulated sugar for caramelizing

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place six ramekins in a baking dish and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Remove from heat.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until well combined. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
  4. Stir in the whiskey and vanilla extract, ensuring they are thoroughly incorporated.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pouring jug to remove any lumps or impurities.
  6. Pour the custard mixture evenly into the prepared ramekins.
  7. Create a water bath by pouring hot water into the baking dish, being careful not to splash any water into the ramekins. The water should reach about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  8. Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the centre.
  9. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate them for at least 2 hours or overnight to chill and set completely.
  10. Just before serving, sprinkle a thin and even layer of granulated sugar over the top of each custard. Use a culinary torch to caramelize the sugar until it turns golden brown and forms a crispy crust.
  11. Allow the caramelized sugar to harden for a few minutes before serving.
