Featured Recipe: Crème Custards (Individual), with Berries
We never thought we could turn out the creamy smooth crème custards you find in restaurants until we tried this recipe, featured in our cookbook, Desperation Entertaining!
Think creme brulee with out the crunchy caramel top.
However, need to tell you -- we've made this many times sprinkling the top of the cold custard with extra-fine sugar and running it under the broiler to caramelize. And then we bought a mini torch, which is time-consuming but fun. He-man men usually really get into this. Fire, need we say more?
Any way you fix it, you'll be amazed at how easily the custard goes together and how silky your results will be!

What you're saying..
First of all the title should read Cheap Fast Great! I found your book at a Scholastic book fair at my daughter's elementary school and am absolutely floored by it. I subscribe to many food magazines, I have many other cookbooks but hands down when I want something different, easy and delicious I go straight for your book. So, thank you very much, and my family thanks you as well.
