Step by step recipe

Stage 1

If you soak them, they will absorb water and lose all their flavour, especially if you have already removed the green top (the "hat"), like on this photo.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 10 min.

You should not soak strawberries in water : Stage 2

With strawberries, it's absolutely essential to minimise contact with water, so do not wash, but brush them gently with a small brush, then remove the green part.

If they are really dirty, rinse quickly under cold water and drain immediately. Then remove the green part, but only afterwards.

Stage 3

You can then use them whole or in pieces.

Crème brulée

Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version of the former recipe, with video.
