Crème brûlée flavored with cardamom, diced candied pineapple, rosemary crumble |
A creamy crème brûlée flavored with cardamom, accompanied by delicious diced caramelized pineapple and a touch of crispy crumble with rosemary.
It's better to prepare the crumble mixture one day ahead when it has a chance to really dry out and becore crumbly.
It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months in an air tight container and is great sprinkled on ice cream, to replace a pie crust or any dessert that you would want to add a little Crunch!
It's best to use seasonal fruits when ever possible.
In the summer, try the recipe with fresh berries!

Preparation for the crème brûlée
In a saucepan, heat the milk, cream and cardamom. Turn off heat and leave to infuse for a few minutes.

Strain the mix in a fine mesh strainer and fill the ramekins to the desired height. Bake at 200F for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. The are ready when they no longer are liquidly when you shake the molds softly.
