Expert Tips

This delicious recipe is a fruit-added version of crème brûlée. The original French dessert is exactly what its name implies--burnt cream. Sweetened and flavored cream, thickened with cornstarch, is broiled to impart a unique toasted flavor characteristic of this dessert.

If raspberries aren't available, try blueberries, or sliced strawberries, peaches or nectarines.

Hot cream with blueberries. It did not thicken or set. It ruined my blueberries.

What a disaster! Just save your self some time and dump some berries into warm milk. It didn't set at all. Could use some more instruction - how long do you boil it? I don't know if it would ever get thick enough.
