Crème Brûlée

Beat the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla until light and foamy. Bring the cream to the boil in a saucepan, then slowly pour it into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.

Pour into a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 120°C for 1 hour. Chill and leave to rest for 2 hours.

Cream Mix

Gently fold the crème brûlée into the whipped cream until smooth.

Chocolate Sauce

Heat the cream and milk until just simmering, then remove from the heat. Add the chocolate and stir until melted and glossy.

For Plating

Caramelise the brioche slices with sugar on all sides until golden. Spread with the cream mix and stack layer by layer.

Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with warm chocolate sauce and finish with crushed pistachios.
