Mascarpone Brulee with Roasted Blueberries

Instructions

Custard
Preheat oven to 325ºF (160ºC)
In a medium bowl whisk together the egg, egg yolks, vanilla and half of the sugar; set aside. Meanwhile in a medium saucepan bring whipping cream and remaining sugar to a boil. Remove from heat and carefully pour approximately 1/4 cup of the hot mixture into the egg mixture, stir, and return the entire mixture back to the pan, add Mascarpone and stir until blended. Pour the custard into 8 ramekins and place in a large roasting pan half filled with hot water. Bake for 30 minutes or until set. Remove from pan, cool and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Prior to serving sprinkle 1/2 cup of sugar evenly over custards. Caramelize with a kitchen torch or carefully place under the broiler until sugar browns, being careful not to burn.
