BAKED VANILLA CUSTARD WITH BERRIES



Baked Vanilla Custard with Berries image

I first made this recipe because the idea of baked vanilla custard gave me tingles. It's such a luxurious-sounding dessert. I adore a rustic scoop of pudding for dessert and I have found that simple presentations like these always get devoured completely at dinner parties. You could serve this custard with a plate of cookies or ladyfingers for textural contrast.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 8h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup (83 grams) hulled, quartered fresh strawberries, plus extra sliced strawberries, for serving
1/2 cup (69 grams) pitted fresh cherries, halved
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch kosher salt
3/4 cup (150 grams) sugar
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup (112 grams) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups (413 milliliters) heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Have a 2-quart oval baking dish and a roasting pan large enough to hold the baking dish ready.
  • Prepare the berries: Combine the strawberries, cherries, sugar and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat without stirring, until the fruit has softened a bit and released lots of juices, about 5 minutes. Transfer the fruit and a scant 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) of the juices to the baking dish. Discard any remaining juice.
  • Make the custard: Combine the sugar and egg yolks in a large mixing bowl and beat vigorously with a whisk until very light and creamy looking. Add the mascarpone and beat just until combined; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the cream and vanilla on medium speed to soft peaks, about 3 minutes. Gently fold the cream and vanilla into the mascarpone mixture until no streaks remain.
  • Carefully dollop the custard on top of the berries. Place the baking dish in the roasting pan and place the roasting pan in the oven. Pour hot but not boiling water into the roasting pan so it comes two-thirds of the way up the sides of the baking dish.
  • Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the surface is lightly golden, the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. If it starts getting too dark too quickly, cover with foil.
  • Remove the pudding from the roasting pan and let it cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Cover the custard and chill for 6 hours or overnight. Serve chilled, topped with a dusting of confectioners' sugar and sliced strawberries.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 pint blueberries
1/2 pint raspberries
1/4 cup port
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar

BLACKBERRY CRISP WITH CARDAMOM CUSTARD SAUCE



Blackberry Crisp With Cardamom Custard Sauce image

You could use a combination of berries (raspberries, blueberries and blackberries in equal parts) in this crisp, but it especially sings with just blackberries. (Wild blackberries, if you can find them, are even better.) Cardamom perfumes the accompanying rich custard sauce. The warm, musky spice adds a flavor that's perfect with berries. The crisp needn't be served piping hot straight from the oven; it's delicious served at room temperature or just slightly warm.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     custards and puddings, dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup/128 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup/113 grams salted butter, cold and thinly sliced
Pinch of ground cardamom
6 cups/850 grams blackberries
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
2 cups/480 grams half-and-half
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cardamom seeds, or 6 green cardamom pods, smashed
4 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Make the topping: Put flour, sugar, butter and ground cardamom in a medium bowl. Using your fingertips, work ingredients together until the mixture resembles wet sand with a few stray pebbles. (The topping can be made in advance and refrigerated for 1 week or frozen for up to 2 months.)
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the blackberries with ½ cup/100 grams sugar and transfer the mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Sprinkle topping over berries loosely, and transfer to the oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the topping is well browned. Let cool for 10 minutes, or serve at room temperature.
  • As the crisp bakes, make the custard sauce: Put half-and-half and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cardamom seeds and bring to just under a simmer, stirring. Put yolks in a bowl and whisk until smooth, then whisk in 1 cup of hot half-and-half mixture. Pour the contents of the bowl back into the saucepan and cook, whisking, on a very low flame until the mixture barely thickens, about 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Serve sauce hot, or let cool and refrigerate until ready to use. (Sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance.)
  • To serve, scoop large spoonfuls of crisp into individual shallow bowls. Ladle the sauce around each serving or pass the sauce at the table.
