All that said, it is taking me longer to write this post than it will take you to make this unbelievably good pudding. I could go on about how there is an amazing textural contrast between juicy berries, silky creme fraiche and a crisp sugar crust, but we're busy people.
Busy Berry Gratin
This amount makes enough for four (or enough for three, with some left for you to sneakily eat for breakfast tomorrow morning).
About 2 cups fresh or thawed frozen berries (blue, boysen or black)
250g creme fraiche
1/2 cup brown sugar
Preheat the grill. Take a flat gratin sort of dish and tip the berries into it. Smooth the creme fraiche over the top, then sprinkle over the sugar in an even layer. Put under the grill for about three minutes until caramelised - be careful, it can scorch very easily (as shown in the photo above). Take to table. Eat slowly.
Wishing you all a sweet, sweet Friday and a very happy weekend. Pin It
You are right. This is just the dessert to go with my quickie dinner. It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing - I can't believe it has just 3 ingredients. Definitely one to impress with!
ReplyDeleteDelicious! My Mum used to make a variation on this with plums and thick creamy yoghurt - it was always a hit.
ReplyDeleteDelicious and so quick!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea - a bit like a large crème brulée. I have half a tub of crème fraîche in the fridge and have just bought some new crop rhubarb which is asking to be used in something like this. I really must give it a go ... and soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you!

I did it! Well, attempted this dish for our sweet, sweet Friday dessert. Just tried to grill - or broil as they call it over here - with the oven door shut. Oh dear... next time I might have to put husband in the kitchen with one of your recipes instead xoxox
