To start you’ll need some vanilla ice cream, eggs and sugar, as well as some ramekins.
Shef explains: “Vanilla ice cream contains everything crème brûlée needs, cream, salt, sugar and eggs.”
To start, melt some ice cream in a microwave, then add in an egg yolk for each portion you’re making.
Shef says: “I’m making two servings so I’m using two egg yolks.”

Three ingredient crème brûlée
- 64g vanilla ice cream
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp sugar
Next pour the mixture into your ramekins, and in the meantime pour some hot water into any deep baking tray you have.
Pop the ramekins in the water and place the tray in the pre-heated oven at 160c for around 45 minutes.
Once they’re done, let them cool to room temperature before covering them with cling film and leaving in the fridge for at least two hours.

Once they’re ready to come out, you want to make that all-important crunchy top.
Melt some sugar on a low heat in a saucepan until it caramelises, and while it’s still runny pour it over the top of each mixture.
Shef says: “You’ve got to be quick before the sugar hardens.”
He also demonstrates what happens if you give it two coatings, with the dessert near impossible to break into.
