CHOW Blog produces Dorm-worthy Crème Brûlée

So I found this amazing site that you all might be interested in. It's called CHOW and it certainly has a section for the college crowd.

A super amazing recipe I found on this site for your dorm rooms is Microwaveable Crème Brûlée:

The whole story and the recipe is here at the ORIGINAL site: http://www.chow.com/recipes/10479

Game plan: Do not put custards in the refrigerator immediately after broiling, because the caramel tops will liquefy. Also, the timing used in this recipe is based on our averages from multiple tests. Since each microwave and toaster oven operates differently, you may need to adjust the times slightly.

This recipe was featured in our 2007 dorm cooking story.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 3 large egg yolks
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 5 tablespoons for topping
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Hot water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large microwaveable mixing bowl, microwave cream uncovered for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, andvanilla extract in a separate large mixing bowl until well combined.
2. Whisking constantly, pour heated cream in a thin stream down the side of the bowl of egg mixture. Once combined, divide custard among four 1/2-cup ramekins (or any ovenproof or microwaveable container, like a mug).
3. Place custards in a shallow microwaveable dish, making sure they don’t touch one another. Pour hot water between the ramekins until it reaches two-thirds of the way up the sides. Microwave until center of custards is just set, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the microwave and let completely cool in the water. When cool, refrigerate covered for at least 1 hour.
4. Once custards have rested, heat toaster oven to broil and, once heated, sprinkle about 4 teaspoons sugar on each custard. Place custards under broiler for about 5 minutes, or until the tops arecaramelized and golden brown; watch carefully to avoid burning. Remove from oven and serve. (Alternatively, heat a conventional oven to high broil and arrange the rack in the upper third of the oven. Once the broiler is heated, sprinkle sugar on each custard and place under the broiler until tops are caramelized and golden brown, about 2 minutes; watch carefully to avoid burning.)
