Monique's Sexy Recipes - Strawberry Brioche



Strawberry Brioche


Servings 2


Ingredients:

1 brioche
8 ounce sugar
8 ounce butter
1 pint fresh strawberries cut in half
1/2 cup pastry cream
1/2 cup whipped cream
strawberry coulis, for garnish


Slice brioche (1 inch - thick) pieces.
In a cooking pan melt butter with sugar and cook it until it turns into a caramel like sauce. Take the pan off the stove and dip the 4 slices of brioche inside the sauce. The butter will penetrate the brioche and the caramel with stick to the outside of the brioche.

Place the 4 slice on a non-stick surface and let cool for 15 minutes - brioche will become crispy.
Place it in the center of a plate and add a little pastry cream on top. Spoon whip cream on top of the pastry cream.

Place strawberries on top of the whipped cream. Drizzle strawberry coulis on top of the brioche and around the plate for decoration and additional flavor.

Make it even sexier by serving with champagne!
