Total time: 1 hr • Prep: 15 min • Cook: 45 min • Serves: 6 • Difficulty: Easy
Digging into the caramelized sugar and toasted almond topping of this brulee takes you to the juicy blueberries hidden inside this luscious, creamy dessert. If you happen to have a brulee torch, you can caramelize the sugar without firing up the broiler. Try this with other fresh berries that are in season at the market—raspberries, blackberries, or quartered strawberries—to change things up. If you must avoid nuts, substitute lemon extract, which complements most any berry, for the almond extract called for here and simply eliminate the nuts from the topping.

In a blender, combine the evaporated milk through to the nutmeg and blend for 1 minute. Add the eggs and the egg whites; blend until smooth. Stir in the blueberries.

Pour the mixture evenly into six 6-ounce baking dishes coated with cooking spray. Place the dishes in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan filled 1/2-inch high with water. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
