Time 1h15m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 6 teaspoons
4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
1 quart strawberry, stemmed and finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Place 8 (1 cup) ramekins in a large roasting pan; fill roasting pan with enough hot water to come halfway up sides of ramekins. The hot water keeps the humidity up in the oven, preventing the custards from cracking.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together yolks and vanilla until combined, set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, over medium heat, bring cream and 3/4 cup sugar to a simmer, whisking frequently; remove pan from heat and stir in white chocolate until melted. Slowly whisk hot cream into yolks until well combined. Evenly sprinkle strawberries into each ramekin and then slowly pour cream into each ramekin, over the strawberries, using a ladle. Bake 40-45 minutes, or until just set.
  • Transfer ramekins to a wire rack and cool 30 minutes before transferring to refrigerator to chill completely; about 2 hours. When ready to serve, sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over each custard, caramelize the top surface using a kitchen torch and serve with strawberries on the side. If you don't have a torch, place ramekins on a baking sheet. Broil for one to two minutes in the oven, until sugar caramelizes, but does not burn.

STRAWBERRY SHORTBREAD AND CREAM



Strawberry Shortbread and Cream image

In this summery dessert, golden-edged cookies are paired with syrupy strawberries and fluffy whipped cream for a result that's a bit like strawberry shortcake, but crunchier and a lot more buttery. These cookies have a little more sugar than most shortbread recipes, so they're especially crisp, but since they are on the sweet side, use a light hand when adding sugar to the berries. You just need enough to get the juices flowing. A few pinches should do it. And if you use cultured butter, the cookies will be even richer.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings, plus extra shortbread

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), preferably cultured (European-style), at room temperature
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeded with the tip of a knife, or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange blossom water or grated orange zest (optional)
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1 pint strawberries, sliced
Granulated sugar, to taste
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream

Steps:

  • Using an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or an electric hand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg yolk, salt, vanilla seeds and orange blossom water, if using. Beat in flour until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
  • Scrape the dough onto a 12-inch-long piece of plastic wrap and form it into a log, 1 1/2 inches in diameter. It will be very sticky, so use the plastic wrap to help form the log (or make two shorter logs if that's easier). Then wrap it up and chill until it's thoroughly cold, at least 3 hours (and up to 5 days).
  • When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liners.
  • Unwrap the dough log and slice it into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheets and bake until the cookies are golden at the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be bake up to 4 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle strawberries with a little sugar and let them sit for 15 minutes to release their juices.
  • Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk, or a whisk and elbow grease, whip the cream, adding a teaspoon or two of sugar, if you like. Note that the cookies are very sweet so you may not want to add any sugar at all.
  • Spoon the strawberries into serving bowls and top with whipped cream. Drizzle cream with juices from the strawberry bowl. Tuck a cookie or two in each bowl and serve with spoons.
