a special treat - tastes similar to a creme brulee

[kit]

this is a cohen's style creme brule - although it does not have the same caramelized top, the creamy texture of this treat is really quite special

Ingredients:

cooked peaches / apricot / nectarine (stone fruit)

ricotta

what to do:

I always have a stock of cooked peaches / apricots and nectarines stored away in the freezer. I am a busy person, and it is so nice to always have them handy.

TO COOK PEACHES:

Place halves and pitted fruits into a baking dish (cut side up) - put a couple of mm's of water in the bottom. Place in the oven (about 200 c) for enough time for them to be soft (fork can easily piece). For the last 10 mins, I like to place them under the griller for a couple of minutes- until the tops have burnt a bit. When they are cooled, you peel the burnt bits off, and the flesh immediately under the burnt bits is generally quite sweet and caramelized. I like to put them in the freezer, because the act of re heating them with the frozen water tends to make them slightly sweeter!!!

RICOTTA creme brulee:

you will need half a peach (heated) for this.

Cut the half into thirds - cutting two thirds into small pieces

in a ramekin, mix ricotta allowance and peaches. Spoon over any peach juices (created during defrosting and heating process) the top of the mixture. Put into the oven for app. 10 mins (200 degrees c). Take the ricotta mixture out of the oven - then place the final third of the peach onto the top - place under the griller for a couple of minutes

ENJOY

Oh my goodness that sounds heavenly!! I got braces a few days ago and I am seriously struggling with food options but I am in love with this idea. I cant chew anything, and am just crushin food between my tongue and the roof of my mouth, so this recipy works I think!! There is a lot of movement that needs to happen and my teeth are incredibly sore, I cant even nibble a salada, I have to saturate it or finely crumble it into yoghurt etc, I cant cew any meat but fine fish seems ok, I cant do mushroom or cabbage etc, but can handle mushy tomato and spinach, silverbeet, etc. I WILL be making this for today, thank you so much. I was starting to think that having braces was a bad idea, as the programme is limiting in foods, but having fresh braces is limiting me so much more again. However, no pain no gain and I will remain positive!!! Thank you
