White Chocolate & Rosemary Crème Brulée Recipe
Is there a better way?! I think not ;)
Especially when it concerns one of my all-time favorite desserts: Crème Brulée!
Seriously, I could eat it all day long.
And so for the sake of variety, and keeping this classic up to date, I like to experiment!
And so for the sake of variety, and keeping this classic up to date, I like to experiment!
At time like these, it feel like my kitchen transforms into a lab...which is totally a welcome feeling that appeals to my scientific (nerdy) background ;)
Anywho, this crème brulée combo of white chocolate infused with rosemary was truly one of my most enjoyable experiments! And I partnered once again with NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® for their creamy, vanilla-flavored Premier White morsels.
The white chocolate is rich and delicious, and perfectly flavored to help update my popular recipe!
White chocolate can totally stand up to stronger flavors, like mint.
And at first, I did consider adding mint, but just didn't seem exciting enough...
So taking inspiration from my herb garden, I decide to try rosemary instead.
My, oh my! Delicious, creamy, sweet and sophisticated. That's how I can describe it.
Who knew a basic 'custard' could be so refined and make your taste-buds dance?!
The rosemary give a subtle hint of floral, with savory notes, which help balance and marries gorgeously with the vanilla sweet taste of the NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Premium White Morsels.
My kids actually jumped up and down when I told them there was crème brulée for dessert!
And devoured their portions in record time, so I guess the flavors pass the test of even the smallest food-critics ;)
So here's my White Chocolate & Rosemary Crème Brulée recipe.
Be warned: once you try it, you may never go back to your regular recipe!
