Vanilla extract is more accessible and less expensive.

Pour 1 cup of 2% milk into a pot.

Add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream (35% fat) to the pot with the milk.

Turn the stove to medium heat to heat the mixture, ensuring it does not boil.

Open the package of Dr. Oetker Crème Brûlée mix and add it to the pot.

Whisk the mixture continuously to combine and prevent lumps.

Wait for the mixture to heat and thicken, stirring until it reaches a simmer.

Once simmering, remove the pot from heat and pour the mixture into ramekins.

Place the ramekins in the fridge for 30 minutes to thicken further.

After 30 minutes, remove the ramekins from the fridge and sprinkle the sugar mixture on top.

Broil the ramekins in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, keeping an eye on them to caramelize the sugar.

Let the crème brûlée cool before serving.
