Description

Berry Brûlée is a simple yet elegant dessert featuring fresh berries topped with a caramelized sugar crust. It’s the perfect combination of juicy fruit and a crisp, sweet topping, making it an impressive but easy treat for any occasion.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (for the custard)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (for brûlée topping)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Custard Base:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, ¼ cup sugar, and vanilla extract until slightly thickened but still pourable.
  • Assemble the Dessert:
    • Divide the fresh berries evenly among 4 ramekins or shallow dessert dishes.
    • Pour the cream mixture over the berries, covering them completely.
  • Chill the Dessert:
    • Refrigerate the ramekins for at least 30 minutes to allow the cream to set slightly and chill the berries.
  • Caramelize the Topping:
    • Just before serving, sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over the surface of each ramekin.
    • Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar, moving the flame in circular motions until the sugar melts and forms a golden, crisp crust. Alternatively, place the ramekins under a hot oven broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Serve:
    • Allow the caramelized sugar to cool and harden for 1-2 minutes before serving. Crack through the crust with a spoon to enjoy the creamy, fruity layers underneath.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
  • Add a splash of liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Chambord, to the cream mixture for an adult twist.
  • Use superfine sugar for the brûlée topping for a smoother caramelization.
