Boston Krème Brûlée & Fruit Tart (Fancy Dunkin’ Donuts) by Erik of Fancy Fast Food

Ingredients:

  • 8 Boston Kreme donuts
  • 3 Strawberry-Filled donuts
  • 1 Vanilla Kreme donut
  • 1 bottle of water
  • 1 cappuccino
  • packets of sugar
  • organic mint leaves (for garnish and a touch of irony)

Using a bread knife, cut open each of the dozen donuts to expose its filling. Scoop out all of the custard filling from the Boston Kreme donuts into a fancy ramekin. Then, even off the top and let it chill in the refrigerator for a while.

Time to make the fruit tart… Place some donut halves into a food processor and add about two capfuls of the bottled water for every two full donuts. Blend it all down until it becomes a doughy paste. Mold the dough into a mini tart/quiche pan, then bake in a pre-heated oven for ten minutes at 425° F. After it cools down to room temperature, scoop out all the strawberry filling from the Strawberry-Filled donuts onto the tart crust. Top it off with a dollop of vanilla cream from the Vanilla Kreme donut.

Once the ramekin of custard is chilled, sprinkle a layer of sugar on top. Then, using a kitchen torch — man, they are awesome — carmelize the sugar until it becomes a brown shell. Garnish it with the organic mint leaves, and voilà! With the fancy fruit tart and the cappuccino served in a fancy cup, now America runs on crème brûlée! Ouais!
