A classic crème brûlée is just about as decadent as decadent gets.  A creamy baked custard topped with a crunchy layer of torched sugar…who doesn’t like that?  My favorite thing about a crème brûlée is not only its elegance, but its versatility.  If you are a lemon fan, add in some lemon zest and juice; if you are a chocolate fanatic, add in some melted chocolate of your choice; if you have some berries on hand, add them into your baking dishes before you pour in the custard mixture.  That is what I did here–plump, sweet blackberries add a perfect sweetness to the custard.  And because I love the pairing of blackberries with crème de cassis liqueur (a black currant liqueur), I added that plus some vanilla extract into the custard base as well.
