Preparation Time: 1 hour + chilling

Ingredients:

- 2 dl sugar (for caramelizing the dishes)

- 4 eggs (organic)
For the Juicy Strawberries:
- Diced strawberries

Instructions:

4. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and pour hot water into the dish halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
5. Bake at 175 °C (350 °F) for 40-50 minutes, until the custards are set.
6. Allow to cool at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
7. To serve, run a sharp knife around the edge of each ramekin and invert onto serving plates.
For the Juicy Strawberries:
1. Roll three blackcurrant leaves tightly and slice them thinly.
2. Sprinkle sugar over the strawberries and add the chopped leaves.
3. Let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for an hour until the strawberries release their juices. Mix and serve alongside the custard.
