Ingredients
Instant lemon pudding mix
1 ((3 1/2 ounce box, recommended Jell-O brand))
Cold milk
2 cups (chilled)
Fresh blueberries
1/2 pint ((approximately 6 ounces, reserve some for garnish))
Granulated sugar
4 tablespoons (for caramelizing)
Instructions
1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cold milk and the instant lemon pudding mix until well combined, approximately 2 minutes.
2
Once mixed, transfer the pudding into the refrigerator and let it chill for about 5 minutes. This helps it thicken properly.
3
While the pudding is chilling, set aside 12 fresh blueberries to use as a garnish later on.
4
Gently fold the remaining blueberries into the chilled pudding mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
5
Carefully divide the pudding mixture into 4 portions, using 8-ounce heat-proof ramekins for best results.
6
Cover the ramekins and refrigerate the desserts until you're ready to serve them.
7
When you're ready to caramelize the tops, preheat your broiler. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the top of each dessert.
8
Place the ramekins on a cookie sheet and slide them under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely until the sugar is melted and has turned a beautiful golden brown. Alternatively, you can use a culinary torch for caramelizing if preferred.
9
For an even caramelization, rotate the cookie sheet as needed while broiling to ensure a uniform result.
10
Once the tops are perfectly caramelized, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
11
Garnish each individual brulee with the reserved blueberries for a stunning finish.
