BERRY BROWN BETTY

The abundance of raspberries give this classic American dessert its bright red hue.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups fresh raspberries (red and golden, if available)
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 cups fresh brioche breadcrumbs (about 6 ounces)
1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix all but 1/4 cup berries with lemon juice, and set aside to macerate. Brush four 6-ounce ramekins with 1 tablespoon butter; coat inside of each with granulated sugar, and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs with remaining 4 tablespoons butter, and set aside. Sprinkle the brown sugar, flour, and nutmeg over raspberries, and gently toss to combine. Divide one-third of breadcrumbs evenly among ramekins. Top with half the berries, and then with another third of breadcrumbs. Repeat with remaining berries and breadcrumbs. Gently press down on layers.
  • Bake until the crumbs are golden and berry juices are bubbling, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool 5 minutes.
  • Invert ramekins onto serving plates. Remove ramekins, and top each dessert with whipped cream; garnish with reserved berries.

Tips:

  • Use fresh berries. Fresh berries will give your brown betty the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh berries, you can use frozen berries, but be sure to thaw them and drain them well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your brown betty tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a baking dish that is large enough. You want the brown betty to be about 2 inches deep in the baking dish. If you use a dish that is too small, the brown betty will be too thick and won't cook evenly.
  • Bake the brown betty until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 30-35 minutes. If you're not sure if the brown betty is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the brown betty is done.
  • Serve the brown betty warm or at room temperature. You can also serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Brown betty is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. It's the perfect dessert for a summer potluck or barbecue, but it can also be enjoyed as a cozy fall or winter treat.
