    Raspberry Crème Brulee

    Raspberry Crème Brulee

    Serves: 6
    Prep time: 20mins
    Cooking time: 1 ½ to 2 hours

    Ingredients
    100g raspberries
    100g blackberries
    2-3 tbsp icing sugar
    6 medium size egg yolks
    125g caster sugar
    560ml cartons single cream
    4 tbsp Demerara sugar to finish

    Method
    Preheat the oven to 150°C, 300°F, Gas Mark 2.

    Combine the egg yolks and caster sugar in a bowl and whisk until light and ribboning.

    Bring the cream almost to the boil, the pour slowly over the egg mixture, whisking constantly.

    Place the fruit in a light buttered 900ml ovenproof dish, or into individual ramekins.

    Strain the custard through a sieve, then pour over the fruit.

    Place the dish or ramekins in a shallow roasting tin.

    Pour in boiling water to come three quarters of the way up the side of the dish, then carefully place in the oven.

    Cook in the preheated oven for 1 - 1½ hours, until set firmly. Cool, then chill.

    Sprinkle the top with the Demerara sugar and place under a preheated grill until browned; turn the dish occasionally so that the sugar melts evenly.

    Chill for 1 hour then serve.

    Yeah, but make sure the brulees are cold BEFORE putting the sugar on. Reason for this is two-fold. If the brulees are wamr, they will be steaming slightly and that will dissolve the sugar... you'll have a devil of a job trying to melt it when its like that.

    Second, if the brulees aren't cold, then they'll get too hot as you flame them, overcooking/curdling the custard underneath... so all that slow cooking to give a nice smooth custard will have been a wasted effort.
