Crème Brulee with Strawberry & Raspberry Compote

If you love a rich pudding then you’ll love this crème brulee. Crispy on top with a creamy vanilla inside, and topped with a sweet berry compote. I hope you enjoy this dessert!

INGREDIENTS

For the Crème Brulee:

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • Seeds from 2 vanilla beans OR 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 Tbs brown sugar

For the Strawberry and Raspberry Compote:

  • 1 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

DIRECTIONS

Bring whole milk, heavy cream, and your choice of vanilla to a boil.

In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks, eggs, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Slowly add hot milk mixture to egg mixture until well combined.

Pour mixture into 6 ramekins.

Place each ramekin in a large Pyrex. Fill Pyrex with water until water is 3/4 of the way up ramekins. Bake for 35 minutes at 325 degrees F or until jiggly but firm.

Place in refrigerator for 1 hour to chill.

For berry compote, combine raspberries, strawberries, and granulated sugar in a medium pot. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a simmer.

On the top of each crème brulee, spread 1 Tbs of brown sugar. Brown the tops of each crème brulee with a torch or in an oven set to broil. Top each crème brulee with berry compote.
