Icewine Crème Brûlée

Contributor · July 3, 2014 ·

Basket Case Picnics, Serves 6

 

This version of crème brûlée is not made with eggs – instead uses the acidity of Icewine, a very sweet dessert wine, to set the cream. Because it is not baked, it can be beautifully presented in wine glasses.

Ingredients
Custard:
2 ½ cups whipping cream
¾ cup sugar
½ cup Icewine or other sweet dessert wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Oat Brûlée
¼ cup maple syrup plus additional to drizzle over garnish if desired
3 tablespoons regular rolled oats (not instant)
1 ½ cups mixed fresh berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries
Directions
Custard: Heat the cream and sugar over medium heat and whisk occasionally, heating just until the sugar has fully dissolved. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the Icewine and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to cool for 15 minutes then carefully pour into serving dishes (you can use wine glasses, champagne flutes, or other desired attractive glassware, since you will not be using a torch to “brûlée” this dessert). Chill overnight to set (these custards need at least 8 hours to set).

Oat Brûlée & Assembly
For the oat brûlée, preheat the oven to 375º F. Line a pie plate with foil and spray with food release spray.
Stir the maple syrup and oats until the oats are fully coated and then pour this into the prepared pie plate, swirling to make an even and thin layer. Bake this for 15 to 20 minutes, until bubbling and a darker brown at the edges. Cool completely to room temperature.
To serve, gently sprinkle or arrange the fresh berries over the custards, then break off shards of the oat brûlée and arrange them alongside the berries, and drizzle with additional maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately.
*The brûlées (ungarnished) will keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
