Crème brûlée, how can you resist?! A melting vanilla-flavored cream from France with a caramelized surface... Yum! For more originality, present it as a tart to your guests! An opportunity to share this treat more easily with them by adding a crunchy layer of shortcrust pastry :-)

• 6 egg yolks
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/3 cup sugar

Preparation

• Line the tart pan with the pie crust and prick it with a fork. Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
• Bring the cream to a boil with the split vanilla bean and its seeds. Once it reaches a boil, set aside to infuse (about 5-10 minutes).
  
• Mix the sugar with the egg yolks. Then add the cream while whisking. Pour this mixture into the baked tart shell.
• Bake for 1 hour at 210°F (100°C). Once cooled, refrigerate the tart for at least 1 night (or 12 hours).
  
• Sprinkle the tart with brown sugar.
• Caramelize the top using a kitchen torch or by placing the tart under your oven broiler for about 5 minutes.
  
• And there you have it, your crème brûlée tart is ready!

Observations

The tart crust: it must be fully baked, it will not cook during the cream baking.
