I puree fresh raspberries and strain that into the melted white chocolate which in turn gives me that white raspberry chocolate sauce. Everything else associated with the assembly of the brulee is simple. Once the brulee is out of the oven, I sprinkle some granulated sugar on top, and then I caramelize the sugar by using a small torch, No torch ?, You can also do it by flash browning it under the broiler .I really hope you enjoy this recipe and even more I wish you the happiest Valentines Day you ever had.
