Fruity Creme Brulee Recipes

SUMMER BERRY BRULéE

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to pack instructions. Drain and cool. Divide the fruit between 6 x 150ml ramekin dishes, drizzle the cassis over and set to one side.
• Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pod and put in a pan with the cream and the empty pod. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat and leave for 5 mins. Remove and discard the vanilla pod. Mix the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl.
• Stir the cream into the egg. Return to the pan and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
• Stir the cooked rice into the custard mixture. Ladle into the ramekins and leave in the fridge for 6 hrs.
• Sprinkle sugar over the tops and caramelise with a blow torch or under a very hot grill until it turns dark brown. Let it cool and harden before serving.

FRUITY CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Line the bottom of eight 1/2 cup ramekins(or custard cups) with the berries, and set them aside.
• Preheat oven to 300*F.
• Heat the half and half in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat, just to the boiling point.
• Whisk the sugar, whole eggs, and egg yoks together in a large bowl until the mixture is light and frothy.
• Now slowly whisk the hot half and half into the egg mixture; mix thoroughly, and strain the mixture back into the saucepan. Using a wooden spoon, stir the mix over low heat just until it coats the back of the spoon. Add vanilla.
• Divide the custard among the berry lined ramekins, and set them in a baking dish. Pour the hot water into the dish until it reaches 2/3 of the way up the sides of the ramekins. Place the dish in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the custards comes out clean, about 35 to 40 minutes.
• Remove the ramekins from the water bath and allow them to cool slightly. Then cover and refrigerate util they are chiled, about 2 hours.
• To serve, preheat the broiler. Sift a light layer of confectioners' sugar over the ramekins, and place them under the broiler just until the sugar caramelizes, 2-4 minutes. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
