My husband, Jacob is a sweet tooth who loves coffee everything!
I’m more of savory person than dessert, so when I make desserts, it’s literally for him or for other people.
Because Jacob loves coffee everything, I always give a twist with espresso/coffee flavor to all the desserts I can!
When I created Matcha Crème Brûlée for freelance job, I was like,
“Why haven’t I made Espresso Crème Brûlée?! “
So I had to make it and then, of course, I had to share the recipe with you all!
The idea of making Crème Brûlée can be a bit intimidating for some people,
but only fancy thing about this dessert is torch.
Which is you can get it so easily now days from online, kitchen store or even regular grocery stores!
Torch is a great tool to have in your kitchen, I definitely recommend you to invest one if you love cooking!
Hope you give this Espresso Crème Brûlée

How to malt the sugar in the oven
Broiler could work, but not oven.
Could I use instant coffee powder instead of espresso powder?
First let me say I’m not sure why there are only 4 stars and not 5. Seonkyoung this recipe deserves 5 stars not 4. 🙂
I had never made nor eaten Crème Brûlée until recently. I must say it is super easy to prepare and is quite tasty. I made this Espresso Crème Brûlée. It was very tasty. It was very easy as well. I will make it again. My husband thought it was the best flavor yet. I have made several different recipes for Crème Brûlée by several different food bloggers. I would definitely tell you to give this one a try. The coffee taste is just right. Mixed with the torched sugar on top is great. Thank you for sharing so people like me who love to cook, bake and try new recipes have them to try. Blessings!
