This fancy oatmeal is simply scrumptious. Who am I kidding?! This is like a desert! It is basically an old fashioned oatmeal, caramelized sugar, topped with berries, almonds and a home made vanilla bean whipped cream. Impress the guests for breakfast or just indulge yourself. You will make it again, guaranteed!
Ingredients:
Oats
1/2 cup - old fashioned oats
1 cup - whole milk or 2%
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon - brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoon - granulated sugar
Home Made Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream:
1/2 cup - heavy cream
1 teaspoon - granulated sugar
1/2 - vanilla bean, scraped (preferably Madagascar bean)
berries to garnish
almonds to garnish
Directions:
Cook oats in milk and a pinch of salt according to the package directions or until tender. Mix in the brown sugar, pour in a serving bowl and press the oats with a spoon making a nice flat surface. Set aside to cool.
In the mean while prepare the whipped cream. In a medium bowl add the heavy cream, sugar and the vanilla scrapings. Mix well. With a mixer, mix until the cream is thick and looks like a whipped cream.
Back to the oats. Sprinkle the granulated sugar on top of the oats and shake the bowl distributing the sugar evenly. With a blow torch caramelize the sugar just like you would on a creme brûlée. The sugar will be wet so it will take you a little longer to blow torch it. Be careful as the longer you blow torch it, it could burn the oats. It doesn't have to be as golden brown as a creme brûlée.
Top with berries of your choice. Add the whipped cream and sprinkle with almonds and ta daaa!!! Your creme brûlée oats is ready!
