ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ cups mixed red berries (large strawberries should be quartered)
8 egg yolks (medium-size eggs)
¹⁄₃ cup superfine sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup creme fraiche
1 cup heavy cream
¹⁄₄ cup superfine sugar, to finish
fresh berries, dusted with
powdered sugar

directions

Arrange six 6 ounce ovenproof ramekins in a roasting pan; divide the berries between them.
Use a fork to mix the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and creme fraiche together in a bowl.
Pour the heavy cream into a saucepan and bring almost to a boil; gradually stir it into the yolk mixture.
Strain the mixture into the ramekins; mix the fruits in the cream with a fork.
Pour warm water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the side of the dishes; bake in a preheated 350° oven for 25-30 minutes, until the custards are set with a slight softness in the center.
Lift the dishes out of the water and leave at room temperature to cool for about 1 hour.
Sprinkle the tops with the sugar and caramelize with a blowtorch; serve within 30 minutes, garnish with sugar-dusted berries.
