Step-by-Step: The Ultimate Brown Sugar Pearl Crème Brûlée
Ingredients You’ll Need (Makes 6 Servings):
-
The Base: 120g Oi Boba Crème Brûlée Powder
-
The Dairy: 600ml Fresh Australian Full Cream Milk
-
The Sweetener: 35ml Oi Boba Premium Fructose Syrup
-
The Texture: 1.5 cups Oi Boba Agar Pearls Brown Sugar (fully drained)
-
The Topping: Fine caster sugar for the caramel crust.
Detailed Instructions:
-
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 150°C (Fan-forced). If you are in a humid environment like Brisbane or Darwin, ensure your ramekins are bone-dry to prevent the caramel from weeping later.
-
Custard Engineering: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk the Oi Boba Crème Brûlée Powder into the cold milk before turning on the heat. This prevents clumping.
-
Simmering: Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula. Once it thickens to a "coat-the-back-of-the-spoon" consistency, stir in your Oi Boba Premium Fructose Syrup.
-
The Pearl Foundation: Place a generous tablespoon of Oi Boba Agar Pearls Brown Sugar at the bottom of each ramekin.
-
The Pour: Carefully pour the hot custard over the pearls. Use a toothpick to pop any surface bubbles for a "glass-like" finish.
-
The Bain-Marie: Place the ramekins in a deep tray and fill with boiling water halfway up the sides. Bake for 30 minutes.
-
The Set: Chill for at least 4 hours. This is crucial for the Oi Boba Agar Pearls to meld with the surrounding cream.
-
The Finale: Just before serving, sprinkle sugar and torch until a deep amber crust forms.
FAQ
Q: Can I use tapioca pearls instead of agar pearls?
A: We recommend the Oi Boba Agar Pearls Brown Sugar for this recipe because they are pre-cooked and hold their shape perfectly in cold desserts, whereas tapioca can harden when refrigerated.
Q: How do I store leftovers?
A: Store the custard in the fridge for up to 3 days, but only torch the sugar right before you eat it to maintain the "crack."
