Crème Brule with Macerated Berries

Crème Brule Serves 10

5 egg yolks

2 c milk

¼ c cane sugar

1 t vanilla extract

Heat the milk and vanilla extract in a small sauce pan and bring to a low simmer, then remove from heat. In another bowl, separate the egg yolk from the white. Combine the egg yolk with ¼ c sugar and beat until well combined.

Next temper the eggs with the milk. (To temper add a small amount of hot milk to the egg yolks) Mix thoroughly. Repeat this process until all the milk has been added. If you add too much or too quickly you may end up curdling the eggs).
