“crack”

brownbutter dessertsWhen I served this dessert the other night someone said this is “crack”.  Could not be more simple to make and based on the ingredients you really can not go wrong.

Whipped cream

Mixture of berries

Sugar

Butter

Vanilla

Put a dollop of whipped cream in everyone’s bowl.  Then put a few heaping spoonfuls of berries over the whipped cream.  Melt the butter in a sauce pan until it browns.  There is a short period before the butter becomes that beautiful caramel color and burns so pay attention.  Once the butter becomes caramelized turn off the heat and add some vanilla.  All these amounts are purely by gut.  Then mix the vanilla in the butter and pour just a small amount over the berries in each of the bowls.  Sprinkle a little white sugar over the top of this mixture and serve.  Must be eaten warm.

Simple and insanely delicious.

    It’s Amanda Hessers Berries with Brown Butter. It is all I serve this summer. Only she doesn’t use the cream. It’s like pie without the crust
