Ingredients

  • 4 cups of assorted mixed berries washed and cut if needed
  • 1 cup of crème fraiche or plain yogurt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ tablespoons of lemon zest optional
  • 2 tablespoons of regular sugar + 6 tablespoons brown sugar for topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, mix the crème fraiche or yogurt, cream, vanilla and 2 tablespoons of sugar until well combined.
  2. Distribute the berries in the 6 ramekins or small oven proof containers. Arrange the berries in a way that small spaces are left in between to allow the cream mixture to seep through.
  3. Spoon the cream mixture over the berries (don’t overfill them if you don’t want them to overflow while broiling).
  4. Sprinkle ~1 tablespoon of brown sugar over the cream on each dessert mold.
  5. Place the ramekins or dessert molds on a baking sheet, this makes it easier to put them in and take them out of the oven, and will protect your oven in case there are any spills.
  6. Turn on your oven broiler and place your oven rack as close to the broiler as possible.
  7. Place the baking sheet and ramekins in the oven and broil until the sugar begins to caramelize, about 4-7 minutes (depending on your oven). Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Can be made with any variety of berries (or other fruit) that you prefer.
