No Fuss S’mores Brûlée

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love crème brûlée. I also don’t know anyone who wants to take the time to make it. Custard? Time consuming. Baking ramekins in a water bath? Please. Instead I’ve come up with a perfect starving artist solution: s’mores. When using my new kitchen torch to make the Peeps s’mores from my last recipe post, I started thinking about crème brûlée and the idea of combining the two hit me. All you have to do is prep the layers, fill the ramekin, and torch it. 10 minutes, no baking, no custard-making, and voila, a delicious and elegant treat that no one will be able to resist. In fact I may or may not have made this every day for the past week.

Don’t own any ramekins? Use cereal bowls. Or better yet, double the recipe and make a huge one in a pie plate. Don’t have a kitchen torch? Stash it under your broiler for a minute or two.
