Equipment

  • Ramekin for Baking HERE to buy
  • Kitchen Torch HERE to buy

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g kabocha After removing the skin and seeds.
  • 150 ml whole milk
  • 100 ml heavy (whipping) cream
  • 2 large egg(s)
  • 2 Tablespoon sugar
  • sugar for top of the Brulee

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Oven : Preheat the oven 335°F (168°c).
  • Kabocha : Remove the kabocha seeds and skin. Cut the kabocha into about 2 inches (5cm) wide and 2-3 inches long pieces.
    Move them to a microwave safe bowl and cover with cling wrap. Microwave for 5 minutes.
  • Egg : Beat the eggs.

Let's make!

  • In a blender, add kabocha, sugar, milk, and heavy cream. Blend everything.
  • Then, move it to a medium or large bowl. Add beaten egg to the bowl. Mix well until it is smooth.
  • Add the mixture into each baking ramekin.
  • Put all of the ramekins into a large baking pan. Carefully pour the boiling water into the pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Move to the oven. Bake for 40 minutes.
  • After 40 minutes, take out the baking pan and take out each ramekin from the baking pan. Put all of them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the top of the creme brulee with sugar and tap so it's even.

Option 1 : Using kitchen torch to finalize (I recommend this way)

  • Melt the sugar on top of each creme brulee and form a crispy shell.

Option 2 : Using Oven to finalize

  • Set the oven to HIGH broil and wait for 5 minutes.
  • Put Creme Brulee to the oven and keep it as close to the flame as possible. Please keep a close eye on it in order not to burn too much. 
    *You can put the creme brulees on one baking pan so it is easy to put to the oven.
  • Broil for 3-5 minutes but be sure to remove them if the surface gets nicely brown before that time. Just turn off the oven and take them out.
