SIMPLE VANILLA CREME BRULEE WITH BERRY COULIS
Steps:
- For the creme brulee: Arrange an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Place four 6-ounce ramekins in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Bring a kettle or saucepan with water to a boil.
- Bring the heavy cream to a light simmer over medium heat in a small saucepan. Whisk the sugar, salt and egg yolks in a large bowl or measuring cup. Slowly pour the hot cream into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly until it thickens. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour or ladle the custard evenly into the ramekins. Carefully pour enough boiling water into the baking dish to come two-thirds of the way up the ramekins, making sure to keep the water out of the ramekins. Bake until the custard is set and firm when shaken, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the custards and let cool to room temperature on a rack, then chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- For the berry coulis: Add the berries, sugar, lemon zest and juice and mint to a food processor and puree until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of sugar over a custard. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar by keeping the flame close to the sugar but moving it constantly to get an even color. Repeat with the remaining custards. Alternatively, sprinkle sugar over all the custards and place on a baking sheet under the broiler for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on your broiler.
- Serve immediately with the berry coulis, a few fresh berries and a sprig of mint on top!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Pour the cream into a saucepan over medium-low heat. Scrape the vanilla caviar (seeds) from the vanilla bean and add it to the cream. Bring almost to the boil, then turn off the heat.
- Place the egg yolks in a large bowl and add the sugar. With a whisk, mix the eggs and sugar together like crazy until they are a very pale yellow, about 4 minutes.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl. Pour the hot cream into the bowl through the strainer to remove any skin or impurities in the cream.
- Slowly drizzle 1/2 cup of the hot cream into the egg/sugar mixture while whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking. Continue adding the rest of the hot cream to the bowl very slowly, whisking constantly until fully incorporated. You can add the cream a little more rapidly as the mixture warms; touch the side of the bowl to gauge the mixture's temperature. Gently stir in the lemon zest.
- Arrange 4 shallow ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Ladle the mixture into the ramekins until they are roughly three-quarters of the way full. Carefully place the baking sheet in the oven. With the rack slightly pulled out, gently pour hot water into the baking sheet until it reaches two-thirds of the way up the outside of the ramekins.
- Bake until the custard is set but not brown on the top, roughly 22 minutes. Watch closely as these can brown very quickly toward the end. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the custard-filled ramekins, covered, for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- When you are ready to serve, sprinkle each of the custards generously with superfine sugar. Using a kitchen torch, crisp the sugar until it is light brown and just bubbling; a back and forth motion works best. Be sure to work quickly to avoid cooking the custard below. This step can be done within an hour of serving. Garnish each custard with Black and Blue Berries.
- Put 1/2 cup each of the blackberries and blueberries in a saucepan and add the sugar, blackberry jam, honey, lemon zest, vanilla extract and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Using a potato masher, mash the berries gently until they are good and broken up.
- Add the remaining 2 cups each blackberries and blueberries to a mixing bowl. Pour the warm berry mixture over the fresh berries and fold everything together with a spatula until well coated. Allow everything to cool 10 minutes or so before serving. Serve atop your favorite dessert.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325F.
- Finely grate 2 tablespoons zest from lemons into cream in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan. Stir in 7 tablespoons turbinado sugar and a pinch of salt. Heat mixture over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until almost boiling, then remove from heat.
- Lightly beat yolks in a bowl, then gradually whisk in hot cream. Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a quart-size glass measure and stir in vanilla and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Divide among ramekins.
- Arrange ramekins in a roasting pan and bake in a water bath until custards are just set around edge but centers wobble when pan is gently shaken, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool custards in water bath 20 minutes, then remove from pan and chill, uncovered, at least 4 hours. (Custards will set completely as they chill.) Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar evenly over each custard, then move blowtorch flame evenly back and forth close to sugar until sugar is caramelized. Let stand until caramel is hardened, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- With a fine grater, zest 2 lemons . Set the lemon zest aside and then juice 1 lemon. Refrigerate the second zested lemon for another use.
- Preheat the oven to 325 F.
- Place six 4-ounce ramekins or four 6-ounce ramekins in a large baking pan or roasting pan.
- Put the heavy cream and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a medium saucepan. Add the finely grated lemon zest-about 2 tablespoons-to the cream. Heat until the cream begins to simmer.
- While the cream is heating, beat the egg yolks and salt in a small bowl.
- Slowly whisk the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks.
- Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the mixture along with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Divide the cream mixture evenly among the 6 ramekins.
- Add boiling water to a depth of about halfway up the ramekins.
- Bake the custards for about 30 minutes, or until the creme brulee has only a slight jiggle in the center when moved.
- Remove the pan from the oven and leave the ramekins in the water bath for 15 minutes.
- Remove the ramekins from the pan. Discard the water from the pan and place the ramekins back in the pan. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
- Just before serving, top the custards with about 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of superfine or raw sugar. Gently rotate the ramekin on the countertop to distribute the sugar evenly over the top. Slowly caramelize the sugar with a blow torch or a kitchen torch. The edges of the ramekins will get hot as you caramelize the sugar, so wear an oven mitt to move them.
- Alternatively, you may place the sugar topped custards in a pan and place the pan under a preheated broiler. Broil just until the sugar has caramelized , rotating the pan about halfway through. Watch carefully.
- Gather the ingredients.
- With a vegetable peeler, remove the outer yellow peel from a large lemon. Slice the strips of lemon into thin strips.
- Put the lemon peel in a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Drain.
- To the lemon peel in the saucepan, add 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1 cup of fresh water. Place the pan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the peels appear translucent. Drain and arrange the peels in a single layer on a sheet of parchment paper to cool.
- Toss the cooled lemon peel with about 1/4 cup of sugar to coat. Use to garnish desserts.
- Enjoy!

MASCARPONE BRULEE WITH FRESH BERRIES
Since the weather is warming up two things come to mind: what am I going to make with all those sweet berries and how can I avoid turning on my oven? This dessert is so fast and easy and looks cooked because we brulee sugar on top of the mascarpone. I'm not a big dessert person but this is my idea of the perfect finish to that early summer dinner.
