Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

500ml (2 1/4 cups) double (heavy) cream
75g (1/3 cup) caster (superfine) sugar
100g (1 cup) fresh ginger, chopped
6 egg yolks
50g (1/4 cup) Demerara (light brown) sugar
To decorate:
12 raspberries
4 sprigs of mint

Steps:

  • Put the cream, sugar, and ginger in a pan and bring to the boil, then remove from the heat and leave to infuse overnight.
  • The next day, whisk the egg yolks together in a bowl. Bring the cream mixture back to the boil and whisk it into the yolks. Strain through a fine sieve, then divide between 4 ramekins or other small dishes. Place on a baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3 for about 35 minutes, until set.
  • Shortly before serving, sprinkle the Demerara sugar over the crème brûlées and then caramelize with a blowtorch. Leave for a few minutes until the sugar hardens, then garnish with the raspberries and mint sprigs.
