Oh honey, let me tell you about this absolutely divine Lavender Honey Crème Brûlée that’ll make your taste buds dance and your guests think you’ve hired a private chef! This is not your average dessert – it’s what I call my “impress the in-laws” or “date night knockout” recipe.
Listen up, because this French-inspired dessert is about to become your new secret weapon in the kitchen. And between us girls (and guys!), it’s actually way easier than it looks! 😉
What You’ll Need:
– 2 cups heavy cream (the good stuff, darling!)
– 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
– 2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
– 4 egg yolks (save those whites for your morning omelet!)
– 1/3 cup honey (local if you can get it)
– Additional sugar for torching
Real talk – before we dive in, make sure you’ve got your fancy pants on because this isn’t your ordinary Tuesday night dessert. But trust your girl here – it’s worth every minute!
Let’s Get Cooking:
1. First things first, preheat that oven to 300°F (150°C). While that’s happening, grab your cream and pour it into a saucepan. Add the vanilla bean and lavender. Warm it up until it’s almost boiling, then turn off the heat and let those flavors mingle for about 15 minutes. Think of it as a spa day for your cream!
1. Meanwhile, whisk those egg yolks with honey until they’re looking smooth and sexy.
1. Strain your cream mixture (bye-bye lavender bits!) and slowly whisk it into the egg mixture. Pro tip: do this gradually unless you want scrambled eggs!

1. Pour the mixture into ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Add hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins (we’re giving them a little spa treatment too!).
1. Bake for about 30-35 minutes until they’re just set but still have a slight wobble – kind of like me after a few glasses of prosecco! 😜
1. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight if you’re a planner (unlike me most days!).
1. For the grand finale, sprinkle sugar on top and torch it until you get that gorgeous golden crust. Don’t have a torch? Girl, treat yourself – it’s an investment in your fabulous culinary future!
The result? A silky smooth, perfectly creamy dessert with subtle floral notes that’ll have everyone begging for seconds. It’s giving main character energy, and I’m here for it!
Y’all, I cannot tell you how many dinner parties this recipe has saved! It’s my go-to when I want to feel fancy without spending hours in the kitchen (because let’s be real, we’ve got better things to do!).

P.S. If you managed to not eat all of these in one sitting (proud of you!), they’ll keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. But honestly, who are we kidding? They never last that long! 😂
