It is easy to make and delicious. The center has a custard-like texture and is filled up with plump fruits (traditionally, sweet cherries are used but I prefer the tartness from raspberries). Sri Lankan Vanilla has a rich cocoa taste and a marshmallow-like texture, making it perfect for this dish. The recipe isn't overly sweet so you can indulge in the icing sugar topping.
Serves 4-6
1 Sri Lankan vanilla bean
Half and half cream, 1 cup
1/4 cup whole milk
3 eggs
(1/2 cup finely granulated Sugar)
Half a cup of all-purpose Flour
One cup of raspberries or other soft fruits such as cherries, plums and peaches
Icing sugar for dusting
Pre-heat the oven to 350degF. Split the vanilla pod lengthways in half and scrape the seeds out with a paring knife. Pour the seeds and pod into a small pan, add half and half of the cream and heat gently on the lowest setting. Stirring gently will help to loosen up the seeds in the cream. After a few moments, remove the pan from the heat. Add the milk. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and eggs. Remove the vanilla bean and reserve it for tea or coffee. Pour a smooth batter, stir the cream and egg mixture together.
Grease your baking vessel (s) lightly. Use a pie or gratin dish. You can also use your favorite ovenproof baking dishes.
Pour the batter evenly between the dishes after placing the fruits in the dishes.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden. Serve warm, dusted with icing.

How To
How do I decide which spices I want to buy?
It is important to know how you can choose the right spices and herbs to cook. There are many choices. So where do you start?
There are three main factors to consider when choosing spices: flavour profile, shelf life, and cost. You can choose to use different flavour profiles depending on whether your cooking involves meat, poultry or fish, vegetables and pasta. Once you have chosen a category, you can narrow down your choices by taking into account these differences.
You will also find that shelf lives can vary. Some spices keep forever, while some others are prone to deterioration quickly. For example, cayenne pepper is good for years and oregano lasts only two months. Price is another important factor. Spices can range anywhere from $1 per tablespoon to more than $100 per ounce. This means you'll need to find a balance between value and quality.
It is also important to decide if you prefer organic ingredients or not. Organic products have fewer pesticides and chemicals that conventional products, which is better for your health as well as the environment. However, they often cost more, so you'll need to weigh those costs against the benefits.
The best way to get the perfect spices for your home is to shop online. Online retailers offer comprehensive information about every product, including price, reviews, ratings, and ingredients.
Once you've narrowed down the list, it's possible to order directly from the retailer. When you have received your items, make sure to keep them in an airtight container.
