Creme brulee is a classic French dessert that features a rich custard base and a caramelized sugar topping. This version, Fruity Creme Brulee, gets a burst of flavor from fresh blueberries or raspberries. The dessert is typically served cold, which makes it a great option for hot summer days or anytime you are craving something sweet and creamy. The dish can be made ahead of time, which makes it a great option for dinner parties or other special occasions. Guests will be impressed by the caramelized sugar topping, which adds an elegant touch to this simple dessert.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.	Spread blueberries evenly in the bottom of a 9-inch baking dish.
3.	In a medium bowl, whisk together half-and-half, sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla until smooth.
4.	Pour the mixture over the blueberries.
5.	Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and add enough hot water to the larger pan to come halfway up the side of the baking dish.
6.	Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the custard is set but still quivers in the center when the dish is gently shaken.
7.	Remove the dish from the water bath and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8.	Before serving, sprinkle the top of the custard with confectioners' sugar and caramelize it under a broiler or with a kitchen torch.
