Classic creme brulee is a rich, baked custard made with cream and crowned with a crusty, ’burnt’ sugar topping. Our lightened version features a stirred custard, fresh berries, and golden threads of caramelized sugar.
Yields/Serves:
4
servings
Ingredients:
For the Custard
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 egg yolks, beaten
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping
3 cups fresh raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, or halved strawberries
2 tablespoons sugar
For the Custard
- In a heavy small saucepan combine 2 tablespoons sugar and cornstarch. Stir in LACTAID® Reduced Fat 2% Lactose-Free Milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
- Gradually stir half the mixture into egg yolks. Return all of the egg mixture to saucepan. Cook and stir until bubbly. Reduce heat to low. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.
- Quickly cool the custard by placing the saucepan into a bowl half-filled with ice water for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Transfer mixture to a small bowl. Cover surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled or up to 24 hours.
- At serving time, rinse berries; drain well. Divide berries evenly among four dessert dishes, custard cups, or goblets. Spoon chilled custard over berries in dishes. Set aside.
For the Topping
- In a small skillet or saucepan heat 2 tablespoons sugar over medium-high heat until sugar just begins to melt, shaking skillet occasionally to heat evenly (but do not stir).
- Reduce heat to low and cook until sugar is melted and golden, stirring as necessary with a wooden spoon after sugar begins to melt.
- Quickly drizzle caramelized sugar over each dessert serving.
- Serve immediately.
