The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Fresh blackberries are hidden beneath a rich custard and topped off with the traditional bruleed sugar crust.

2 cups fresh blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries
2 tablespoons sugar or splenda
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 teaspoons brown sugar
Gently rinse blackberries; drain. Divide them evenly among (6-ounce) ovenproof ramekins or custard cups; set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch until smooth. Add egg; stir well. Gradually stir in heavy cream and stir until smooth.
Cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly, about 12 minutes.
Remove from heat; let cool 5 minutes. Add sour cream and vanilla; stir well. Spoon custard mixture evenly over berries. Place ramekins on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle each with 1-teaspoon brown sugar. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat 2 minutes or until sugar melts. Serve warm.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Creme brulee is my favorite dessert so I was so excited that we tested this recipe! Everything about it was perfect. I used blackberries (as the title suggests). If you use strawberries make sure to slice them as you want the custard to cover them.
