Servings 6(6oz) ramekins
Ingredients
4cupsof assorted mixed berrieswashed and cut if needed
1cupof crème fraiche or plain yogurt
1cupheavy cream
½teaspoonvanilla
½tablespoonsof lemon zestoptional
2tablespoonsof regular sugar + 6 tablespoons brown sugar for topping
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the crème fraiche or yogurt, cream, vanilla and 2 tablespoons of sugar until well combined.
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.
Spoon the cream mixture over the berries (don’t overfill them if you don’t want them to overflow while broiling).
Sprinkle ~1 tablespoon of brown sugar over the cream on each dessert mold.
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.
Turn on your oven broiler and place your oven rack as close to the broiler as possible.
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.
