Lime “crème Brulee” Recipe
Macerated Spring Berries, Rum and Sweet Crème Fraiche. Chef’s Notes: While frequenting El Floridita, the historic fish restaurant and cocktail bar in Havana, Hemingway first tried their signature drink, remarking, “That’s good, but I prefer it without sugar and double rum.” We’d like to make an adjustment too. Let’s start with bright lime custard topped with a crisp “shell” of raw sugar alongside macerated spring berries and rum-laced sweet crème fraiche. Papa would be proud.
