Recipes Using Culinary Torch. Serves 4 Equipment - culinary torch - chefs knife - mixing bowl - sheet pan - ramekins or bowls Caramelized Pineapple. Traditionally used to caramelize sugar on creme brulee a culinary torch is also handy for creating a crispy caramelized topping on individual cheesecakes.
The heat will caramelize the fructose and the sucrose giving you added depth of flavor. Add the chocolate chips and whisk to combine. Culinary torches can be used for any recipe that requires melting crisping or hardening of a topping or even the main dish.
I used 3 parts sugar 1 part kosher salt 1 part coarse ground pepper.
Garnish with coconut. Sprinkle each with a tbsp of sugar. Garnish with coconut. Photo by Lauren Kaplan.
