fresh fruit brulee
8 oz. strawbs
4 oz. white grapes halved
1 fresh peach sliced
8-10 ratafia biscuits
2 x 200ml tubs creme fraiche
4-6oz. light brown soft sugar
arrange fruit in the base of a heatproof soufle (deepish) type dish or 4 individual ramekins. place ratafia biscuits on top. spoon over creme fraiche to completely seal in the fruit and chill for at least an hour. sprinkle sugar over and smooth the top, place under a preheated hot grill for 1-2 minutes to caramelise or use blowtorch.
you can adjust all the ingredients to suit. use canned fruit or any other fresh fruit you like, soft fruit is best. you can add liqueur or brandy. use any almond macaroon biscuits. you can use greek yoghurt instead of creme fraiche. light muscavado sugar can be used instead of light brown soft sugar.
i always use a lot more fruit than the recipe says, and i totally cover the fruit with ratafia biscuits, about 20 of them. enjoy :)
