Cheat’s Berry Brulée

Forget heating cream and egg yolks and hoping that they don’t curdle. Try this instead. You can follow your taste and use any combination of berries.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 punnet berries or 200g frozen berries, eg blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries or mixed berries
  • 100ml sour cream or crème fraîche
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Crisp biscuits or wafers, to serve

Instructions

  1. Pack two small ramekins with berries, top with sour cream and sprinkle with brown sugar and a few drops of water (to help the caramelisation process).
  2. Place under a pre-heated grill for a minute or two and when the top is bubbly, serve with a crisp biscuit.

Notes

Lyndey’s Note: If berries aren’t in season, substitute other soft fruit such as peaches, plums or nectarines or even poached fruit, such as pears or apples.

Wine: The sweet flavours of a late-picked Riesling or Semillon will work here or even a richer botrytised wine.
