Bourbon Brulee with Bourbon-Soaked Cherries

Bourbon Brulee with Bourbon-Soaked Cherries is a decadent dessert that combines the rich flavors of bourbon and cherries in a creamy custard. This dish is perfect for special occasions or a romantic dinner for two.
To make Bourbon Brulee with Bourbon-Soaked Cherries, you will need the following ingredients:

For the custard:

- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cherries:

- 1 cup pitted cherries
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream and sugar over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, bourbon, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
Divide the custard mixture evenly among six ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
While the custard is baking, prepare the cherries. In a small saucepan, combine the cherries, bourbon, and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the cherries are soft and juicy.
Once the custard is done, remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, top each custard with a spoonful of the bourbon-soaked cherries.
The Bourbon Brulee with Bourbon-Soaked Cherries is a rich and creamy dessert with a subtle hint of bourbon and a burst of sweet cherry flavor. The custard is smooth and velvety, while the cherries add a juicy texture and a touch of tartness. This dish is perfect for those who love a classic custard with a boozy twist.
