ingredients

¹⁄₃ cup sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup milk
¹⁄₂ teaspoon vanilla
4 ounces cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces
2 cups fresh raspberries
¹⁄₄ cup brown sugar

directions

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, egg, flour and cornstarch; mix well.
Add the milk and vanilla. Stir well with a wire whisk.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Cook and stir for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the custard thickens. Pour into a bowl.
Add the softened cream cheese. Stir for two minutes or until the cheese melts. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the custard cools.
Preheat the broiler. Pour the custard into six oven-proof custard cups set on a baking sheet. Press the berries into the custard. Broil four inches from the heat for two minutes or until the custard is golden in color.
Sprinkle with the brown sugar. Set aside for one to two minutes or until the sugar melts. Alternately, if you want the sugar to brulée, put them back under the broiler briefly. Be sure to watch them carefully and pull them out when the sugar is bubbly but before it burns.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
