Boysenberry Amandines
- 2 cans (15 Oz. Size) Boysenberries In Light Syrup
- 4 whole Large Eggs
- 1/2 cups Plus 2 Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar
- 8 Tablespoons Butter, Melted And Cooled, Plus Some To Grease The Ramekins
- 1/2 cups Finely Ground Almonds (AKA Almond Meal Or Powdered Almonds)
- 4 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoons Freshly Grated Nutmeg
- 8 whole Small Scoops Of Vanilla Ice Cream
- You will also need:
- 1. A large strainer.
- 2. 3 mixing bowls.
- 3. A mixer, standing or hand.
- 4. Eight 1/2-cup size ramekins.
- Making the dessert:
- 1. Butter the ramekins and put them in the refrigerator while making the batter for the Amandines.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- 3. Place a strainer over a mixing bowl and strain the canned berries, reserving the juice that collects in the bowl. Set both the juice and berries aside.
- 4. Separate the eggs, placing the yolks and whites in two separate mixing bowls.
- 5. Add the brown sugar to the yolks and mix until they become a shade lighter in color.
- 6. Beat into the yolk mixture the butter, powdered almonds, cornstarch, vanilla, and nutmeg.
- 7. In the third bowl, beat the egg whites until they hold firm peaks, then fold them into the yolk and almond batter.
- 8. Take the ramekins from the refrigerator and divide the batter evenly among them. Place 6 or 7 berries in each ramekin of batter, reserving the rest of the berries and juice.
- 9. Bake the desserts for 10 minutes, or until they are golden.
- 10. Remove them from the oven. The Amandines will look underdone. This is OK. They will continue to cook a little out of the oven and regardless, they are supposed to have a softer-than-cake consistency. Let them cool a little ... to lukewarm is fine.
- 11. Just before serving, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on each dessert and top the scoops of ice cream with some of the reserved berries and juice.
