Ingredients

  • Sugar
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 1 quart whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 baskets fresh raspberries

Directions

  1. Gradually beat 6 1/2 tablespoons sugar into the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk constantly until the mixture is light and creamy.
  2. Whisk in the cream and vanilla.
  3. Place 7 raspberries into each of 8 ramekins. Pour the custard mixture into the ramekins.
  4. Place the ramekins in a large baking pan. Add warm water to reach halfway up the ramekins.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until set. Remove from the water and cool. Refrigerate a few hours.
  6. Puree the remaining berries in a food processor to make a puree, then strain.
  7. Pour 1 teaspoon of puree onto each custard and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar.
  8. Set the cups in a baking pan half-filled with ice and water. Broil about 2 inches from the heat about 3 minutes or until the tops are caramelized.
