If you haven't tried making Crème Brûlée, it's delightfully easy; it just requires chilling time. This spin on the traditional recipe takes the iconic French dessert and makes it even more delicious and indulgent with the inclusion of Icewine and maple syrup. It's a tasty trio of flavours that deserves a spot at your table. The bonus: You make it ahead of time!
Ingredients
- ½ tsp butter
- 2 ½ cups whipping cream (35%)
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup Icewine
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 3 tbsp regular rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups mixed fresh berries
Directions
Heat cream and sugar over medium heat, whisking occasionally until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in Icewine and lemon juice, allow to cool for 15 minutes then pour into 6 ramekins or serving dishes. To set, chill for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight.
For the brûlée, preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking tray with foil and grease with butter. Combine the maple syrup and oats and mix until oats are fully coated, then spread onto prepared tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bubbling. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
To serve, break off shards of the brûlée brittle and arrange on top of each custard along with fresh berries.
