Passion Fruit Crème Brulee using Graham’s the Family Dairy Gold Smooth Milk by Flora Shedden
A crème brulee is a lovely thing. Silky set custard topped with caramelised brown sugar, it is a great pudding to end a meal with. This version contains passion fruit for a slight sharpness and to turn the custard a great golden colour.
Graham’s the Family Dairy have been shortlisted for the ‘Dairy’ category at this years Scotland Food & Drink Excellence Awards with their Dairy Gold Smooth and Organic Whole Milk with Cream at the Top.

Ingredients: Serves 4
6 large passion fruits
2 eggs
4 egg yolks
100g caster sugar
350ml double cream
100ml Graham’s Dairy Gold Smooth Milk
Method:
1. Begin by deseeding the passion fruits. Press the seedy pulp through a plastic sieve, making sure it is only the black seeds that remain in the sieve and all the juice has been pressed through.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and juice until well combined. Heat the double cream and milk, and once almost boiling remove. Pour on top of the egg mixture, whisking all the time.
3. Return the custard to the pan and heat on a very low heat, again whisking constantly to prevent it turning into scrambled eggs. It should begin to thicken after ten minutes. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon well.
4. Remove from the heat and divide into small ramekins or, alternatively, a single large serving dish. Set in the fridge overnight.
5. No more than two hours before serving, sprinkle the tops of the crème brulees with a layer of caster sugar. Use a blowtorch or grill to caramelise the tops. You should be able to tap a spoon on top of the caramel and get a very satisfying sound!

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
