Velvety cream with a fine cinnamon note and crisp‑sweet topping meets fruity berries: Try the Cinnamon Crème brûlée by Spoonsparrow!

Ingredients

  • 0.5 l milk
  • 1 Vanilla bean
  • 1 stick cinnamon
  • 2 Eggs
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 80 g sugar
  • 100 g sugar
  • 200 g fresh or frozen raspberries

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Pour milk into a pot. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and add it with its split to the milk. Add the cinnamon stick and slowly bring everything to a gentle boil. Remove the pot from heat.

  2. 2.

    Beat eggs, yolks, and both sugars in a bowl with a whisk for 10‑15 minutes until a pale yellow, creamy mixture forms.

  3. 3.

    Remove the vanilla bean and cinnamon stick from the milk. Whisk the milk into the egg mixture in a thin stream.

  4. 4.

    Place the bowl over a gently simmering water bath and whisk for about 15 minutes until the custard thickens.

  5. 5.

    Fill four small serving bowls with the vanilla custard, let cool, then refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

  6. 6.

    Simmer the remaining sugar with just under 1/8 l water on low heat until a brown caramel sauce forms. Pour this hot sauce over the custard so it sets into a layer on top. Chill again, garnish with raspberries, and serve well chilled.
