Ingredients
  

  • 3,3 dl lactose-free whipping cream or dairy-free sub 1 3/8 cup
  • 1 dl lactose-free milk or dairy-free sub 3/7 cup
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 dl sugar 1/5 cup
  • 1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest wash the orange well
  • 2 quarts hot water
  • 4/5 dl superfine sugar about 1/3 cup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 370 degrees (190 in Celsius).
  • Put the whipping cream, milk, vanilla bean and its pulp into a pot set over medium heat. Bring to boil.
  • Remove from the heat. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Take the vanilla bean out of the mixture.
  • In a bowl mix together the egg yolks, sugar, orange zest and pumpkin spice until smooth.
  • Add the sugar-egg mixture to the cream a little at a time, stirring continually.
  • Pour the mixture into Crème Brûlée ramekins. If using small ramekins, you´ll have about six Crème Brûlées and if using bigger ramekins, you will have about three.
  • Place the ramekins into a baking pan. Put the pan into the oven and pour hot water to the pan that much it comes about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until they have just set but still trembling in the center.
  • When the ramekins have cooled, put them to the refrigerator for about 3 hours before serving.
  • Divide the superfine sugar equally and spread it evenly on top of the dishes. Use a torch and melt the sugar and form a crispy top. Let the creme brulees sit for about five minutes before serving. Enjoy!
