Strawberry Creme Brulee

Added on July 31st, 2012 by our friend from http://www.thingsmybellylikes.com

Cooking Steps

Heat the strawberries, water and honey in a saucepan over a high heat for 10 mins. They should break down into a bubbling, mushy liquid. Process or mash the strawberries to get a smoother texture (I just used a standard potato masher cos the thought of cleaning up the food processor depressed me thoroughly. Domestic goddess fail).
Remove from heat and sieve in the arrowroot powder. Stir well until it thickens.
Pour paste into your creme brulee dish or ramekins so it forms a layer along the bottom. Transfer to fridge to chill for 10 mins.
Beat together the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla.
Heat the cream until it is warm to the touch then whisk it into the egg yolk mixture.
Pour the resulting liquid over the strawberry liquid in your dish.
Put the dish into a shallow baking tray full of hot water. The water should reach to at least halfway on your creme brulee (this water bath helps it cook evenly).
Bake for 30-40 mins at 400. You’ll know it’s done when the centre is set.
Let cool then transfer to the fridge and chill until needed.

  1. I can’t have dairy. I thought Paleo did not use dairy. Tell me more about heavy cream
    Thanks

    The dairy question is one that will always stir up some controversy in the Paleo community. If you live by Robb Wolf’s words, dairy is a no go. Follow Mark Sisson and some high quality dairy such as raw milk, butter, and cheese are acceptable, if you can tolerate it.

    I should add to that, that “strictly” speaking, dairy is not Paleo, as there were of course no cows to milk in times of the caveman. :) But there appear to be some benefits from eating certain dairy products and drinking raw milk, which made it acceptable to some. Here at FastPaleo we try to cater to both groups, which is why our recipes are always categorized into “Dairy” and “Non-Dairy”. :)
