Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 250 g Frozen cherries
  • 1 Vanilla pod
  • 200 g Whipped cream
  • 200 ml Milk
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 50 g Sugar
  • 4 TABLESPOONS Sugar
  • 2 Eggs (Gr. M)
  • 2 Egg yolk (Gr. M)
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1 TABLESPOON Lemon juice
  • 1 TEASPOON Cornstarch
  • 75 g firm nut nougat mass

Directions

  1. 1

    Defrost the cherries. Preheat oven (electric cooker: 150 °C/circulating air: 130 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Cut the vanilla pod open lengthwise. Scrape out the pulp. Bring cream, milk, 100 g sugar, vanilla pulp and vanilla pod to the boil and simmer for about 4 minutes. Mix eggs and egg yolk.

  2. 2

    Pour hot cream slowly into the egg mixture while stirring constantly. Pour into four moulds (each with a capacity of approx. 200 ml) and place the moulds in a fat pan (deep baking tray). Slide them into the hot oven on the lowest shelf and pour on enough hot water to make the moulds stand in water to approx. 3⁄4. Allow to set for approx. 50 minutes.

  3. 3

    Bring the cherries to the boil with 5 tbsp. water, 50 g sugar, 1 pinch of cinnamon and lemon juice. Stir the starch and 3 tbsp. water until smooth. Bind the cherries with it. Dice nougat roughly and stir into the hot cherries.

  4. 4

    Remove the moulds and let them cool down. Sprinkle crème-brûlée portions with 1 tablespoon of sugar each. Caramelize with a kitchen gas burner until golden brown. Serve with 1-2 tbsp. cherries and add the remaining cherries.

  5. 5

    If you feel a little tipsy, replace part of the whipped cream with whisky cream liqueur.
