This being National Cherry Month and all, you can’t have too much of this delicious nutritious fruit.   Crème Brulée actually sounds more intimidating to make than it really is.   Don’t rush the process and I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the results!

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/3 cup FruitFast Cherry Juice Concentrate
6 egg yolks
8 Tbsp sugar
2 – 3 Tbsp sugar for crust

Directions:

Bring the cream and FruitFast Cherry Concentrate to a simmer.  Beat together the egg yolks and sugar for one minute.  Slowly pour the cream into the eggs while whisking.

Bring the mixture back to the stove on low heat until slightly thickened (about 3 minutes).  Pour the mixture into oven safe ramekins set in a baking pan. When the baking pan is in the oven, add enough water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

Bake the brulées at 300 degrees F  for approximately 35 minutes.  Let the custard cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

To create the sugar crust, sprinkle with sugar over the brulée and burn with a blowtorch or under the broiler.
