I love creme brulee. Any excuse to make it is just fine in my book. Here's an interesting variation on the typical burned sugar custard including lovely raspberries.
Ingredients:
1 lb cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp gf vanilla extract
2 tbsp water
1/2 pint raspberries, washed & patted dry
2-3 tbsp light brown sugar
325°. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl as needed. Mix in vanilla and water. Blend until smooth.
Divide raspberries between 6-8 small oven-proof dessert dishes. Spoon cheese filling over raspberries. Bake in oven until set, about 15-20 minutes. Remove, cool and refrigerate until needed.
When ready to serve, preheat broiler and sprinkle each dessert cup with 1-1½ t brown sugar. Place under broiler until sugar begins to bubble. Be careful not to burn. Let cool for 2 minutes.
