The crispy, burnt sugar is the best part of this easy and delicious eggnog creme brulee.
This is perfect for an elegant Christmas dessert!
Confession time: Ive never been a huge fan of eggnog.
At least, drinking it straight out of the carton.
Having said that, I LOVE eggnog as ingredients in Christmas desserts such as cookies, breads, etc.
and that includes this eggnog creme brulee!

Creme Brulee Tips
Before beginning, here are some things you should always remember.
Dont skimp on any ingredients, as this recipe doesnt have very many in the first place.
Quality does matter here.
The reason for this is so that the final product has a thick, silky texture.
Youre going to make scrambled eggs.
Once you do that a few times, you’re free to drizzle directly from the sauce pan.
This dessert can be made up to 48 hours in advance.
Use a Water Bath
When you bake the ramekins, youll put them in a water bath.
This provides insulation from direct heat, which can crack the ramekins, and keeps the baking more even.
Youre not trying to burn the brulee, but just to melt and toast the sugar.
Heres what youre going to need for this eggnog creme brulee:
