Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

In a mixing bowl, lightly beat Canadian Mascarpone cheese, egg yolks and 2/3 of the sugar. Stir in milk. Pour mixture into 4 ramekins and place them in an ovenproof pan lined with a sheet of parchment paper.

Pour boiling water in the pan to come halfway up the ramekins. Bake in oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until crèmes brûlées are firm to the touch. Let cool to room temperature, then chill.

Melt chocolate and spread over crème brûlées. Chill for 15 minutes more to harden chocolate. Sprinkle with rest of sugar.

Place under preheated broiler until sugar bubbles and turns golden. Remove, let cool, then sprinkle with icing sugar and serve with seasonal fruit.
