Raspberry Creme Brulee Food

RASPBERRY BRûLéE

Steps:

• Split the vanilla pod and scrape the seeds into a pan with the lemon zest and cream. Toss the pod in too. Heat until just before the cream boils - tiny bubbles will be forming at the edges. Turn off the heat and infuse for 15 mins.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put four ramekins into a roasting tin and fill the tin with boiling water so that about 2cm of the ramekins is uncovered.
• Divide the raspberries between the ramekins, reserving a few. Whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar, using an electric whisk, until very pale and fluffy, about 3 mins. Remove the zest and vanilla pod from the cooled cream, then slowly stir it into the egg mixture. Transfer to a jug and pour through a sieve into the ramekins, then top with the reserved raspberries. Bake in the oven for 20-25 mins until the custard forms a skin and holds a slight wobble when you nudge the tray. Allow to cool, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hrs.
• If you don't have a blowtorch, heat the grill to high. Sprinkle demerara sugar over each ramekin and either use a blowtorch to caramelise the top or place them under the grill until the sugar has melted and crisped. Allow to settle for 5 mins before serving.

RASPBERRY CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the egg, egg yolks, and 1/2 cup of the sugar together on low speed until just combined. Meanwhile, scald the cream in a small saucepan until it's very hot to the touch but not boiled. Add the cardamom and mix well. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the cream to the eggs. Add the framboise and vanilla. Distribute the raspberries among 6 (6 to 8 - ounce) ramekins and then pour the custard mixture into the ramekins until they're almost full. (I use a large glass measuring cup for easy pouring.)
• Place the ramekins on a sheet pan and carefully pour hottest tap water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the custards are just set when gently shaken. Remove the custards from the water bath, cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate until cold.
• To serve, spread 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly on the top of each ramekin and heat with a kitchen blowtorch until the sugar caramelizes evenly. Allow to sit at room temperature for a minute until the caramelized sugar hardens.

RASPBERRY CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F. Place four 9-ounce ramekins in a roasting pan. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and keep hot until ready to use.
• Set aside 12 of the raspberries and cook the rest with 1/2 cup of the sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until the sugar has dissolved, the berries have broken down completely and the mixture starts to thicken, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Put the cream, half-and-half and salt in a medium saucepan. Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, scrape out the seeds with the back of a paring knife and add them, along with the bean, to the cream mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat; immediately remove from the heat, cover and set aside.
• Combine the egg yolks with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar in a large bowl and whisk until the mixture is pale yellow and thick. Whisking constantly, slowly pour in the hot cream mixture until well combined. Pour the custard through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean medium bowl and discard the vanilla bean.
• Spoon 2 tablespoons of the raspberry coulis into each ramekin and spread to cover the bottom. Carefully ladle the custard into the ramekins, dividing evenly, and place the roasting pan in the oven. Carefully pour the hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches about 2/3 of the way up each ramekin. Bake until the custard is just set and still slightly jiggles, about 55 minutes. Immediately transfer the ramekins to a rack to cool to room temperature, then chill, uncovered, for 3 hours up to 2 days.
• Just before serving, place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle sugar (about 1 tablespoon) over the top of each custard, tilting to spread evenly. Wipe off the ramekins with a moist paper towel. Using a torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it is melted and a deep golden color. Once the sugar has hardened, garnish each custard with 3 of the reserved raspberries and serve.

Steps:

• Stir together 1/2 cup non-fat milk and non-fat milk powder until blended.
• Stir in remaining non-fat milk, egg substitute, 1/3 cup sugar and vanilla.
• Place 5 to 7 raspberries in bottom of each of 6 (5-ounce) custard cups.
• Pour custard mixture over raspberries.
• Bake in pan filled with hot water to 1-inch depth in 325-degree oven about 35 minutes or until custard is set.
• Chill.
• Fifteen minutes before serving, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon sugar over top of each custard.
• Place cups on baking sheet and broil 4 inches from heat until sugar is caramelized.

WHITE CHOCOLATE AND RASPBERRY CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Divide jam evenly among 8 ramekins; spread to cover bottom. Place ramekins in a large baking dish pan with 2-inch (or larger) sides.
• Combine cream and white chocolate in a pan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until chocolate has melted, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup sugar and stir until dissolved; do not boil. Remove from the heat.
• Mix egg yolks, vanilla, and salt together in a bowl with a pour spout. Add cream mixture in slowly, whisking all the white. Pour mixture evenly on top of jam in the ramekins. Fill the outer pan with hot water so it's at least halfway up the outsides of the ramekins; this water bath will keep the egg from becoming rubbery and will keep your custard smooth.
• Bake in the preheated oven until mixture is set but still a little wobbly in the middle; 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer ramekins to a cooling rack to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Place in the refrigerator to chill, at least 1 hour.
• Remove ramekins from the refrigerator. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon sugar evenly over the top of each custard. Fire custards with a kitchen torch until sugar is liquefied and starts to brown. Allow crust to harden for about 2 minutes, then serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY CREME BRULEE

Remove ramekins from water bath; cool 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours., Combine brown sugar and remaining sugar. If using a creme brulee torch, sprinkle custards with sugar mixture. Heat sugar with the torch until caramelized. Serve immediately. If broiling the custards, place ramekins on a baking sheet; let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar mixture. Broil 8 in. from the heat until sugar is caramelized, 4-7 minutes. Refrigerate until firm, 1-2 hours. If desired, top with additional fresh raspberries.

VANILLA CRèME BRûLéE WITH RASPBERRIES

CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Prepare oven and baking dishes: Heat oven to 300 degrees. Bring a kettle or pot of water to a boil. Place eight 5-ounce baking dishes in a large roasting pan.
• Gently heat cream: In a medium saucepan, combine cream and half the sugar (1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons). Scrape vanilla bean seeds into pan, then add pod. Heat over medium just until mixture starts to bubble around the edge of the pan, 7 to 8 minutes (do not let boil).
• Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with remaining sugar and the salt.
• Temper eggs: Use ladle to pour a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, then whisk to combine. (This is called tempering and prevents the eggs from curdling.) Add two more ladles of cream mixture, one at a time, whisking to combine after each addition. Gradually whisk in remaining cream mixture. Strain through a fine sieve into a large liquid measuring cup (to remove the vanilla pod and any cooked bits of egg).
• Bake: Divide custard evenly among baking dishes. Place pan in oven. Add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the dishes. Bake until custards are just set (they should tremble slightly in center when shaken), 30 to 40 minutes.
• Chill: Remove pan from oven. Use tongs to carefully remove dishes from hot-water bath and place on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Then, cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours (or up to 3 days) before serving. The custard will finish setting in the refrigerator. If you like, transfer the custards to the freezer 15 minutes before serving to ensure they stay cold after being bruleed (this is especially important if using the broiler).
• Caramelize tops and serve: Sprinkle about 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar over each custard. Working with one at a time, pass the flame of the torch in a circular motion 1 to 2 inches above the surface of each custard until the sugar bubbles, turns amber, and forms a smooth surface. Serve immediately.
