Creme Brulee Mix is a cooked custard base from Pastry Star that delivers the classic torched dessert from a single powder. Cook it with half and half and heavy cream, pour into ramekins, and chill until set.

It sets into a dense, silky custard, sweet and classic, rich from the cream and egg yolk it cooks with. Dust the surface with sugar and pass a torch over it to build the thin amber crust that cracks under a spoon and gives way to the cool custard beneath.

Pastry Star offers several cream and custard mixes in the same family. The Instant Custard Cream is a cold mixed vanilla pastry cream that needs no cooking. Instant Creme Supreme is a freeze and bake stable vanilla pastry cream, and the Instant Chocolate Pastry Cream Mix is the chocolate version, whipped with milk alone.
