I tried this recipe for my son's going away dinner. It was easy to prepare and tasted very refreshing with the hint of mint in the cream. I followed the recipe and did a few tweaks.I added 24 leaves of mint instead of 15. After baking it for 60 minutes at 90 degrees, the brulee hadn't set yet. I decided to steam it in my aluminium wonton steamer for a further 20 minutes— I used to make a local version of the creme caramel and I would cook this in a steamer for 45 minutes—and they came out just right. This dessert is now part of my dessert repertoire!
