Ingredients
- 4 cups- half-and-half (10%) cream 1 L
- 1 tbsp- unflavoured gelatin 15 mL
- 1⁄3 cup- packed dark brown sugar 75 mL
- Pinch of salt

Directions
Pour cream into a medium saucepan and sprinkle gelatin over top. Let stand for a few minutes to soften. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer, whisking in brown sugar and salt until sugar is dissolved.
Divide among six 1⁄2-cup (125 mL) ramekins or custard cups (if you want to unmold them, spray them with nonstick cooking spray first). Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set. Unmold onto small plates or serve in the ramekins, topped with a few berries.
