    Electric Skillet Berries and Cream

    Jump to Recipe

    Enjoy a light, refreshing dessert with this electric skillet baked berries and cream. Fresh berries line the bottom, giving your guests a surprise when they scoop up the sweet cream layer.

    The topping consists of crunchy graham cracker crumbles and more fresh berries, almost like the layers of a strawberry crumble pie. This dessert is easy and quick to assemble and it doesn’t require many ingredients.

    Creamy desserts offer a lighter alternative to heavy treats, such as chocolate cake and brownies. If you're having a full meal, this recipe pairs well with dishes such as salads, pasta, blackened chicken and skillet fried fish. You can also serve berries and cream by itself for brunch with this morning punch (aka mimosas).

    You can also bake these delicious treats in an electric skillet: electric skillet brownies, electric skillet cake and electric skillet pie.

    Ingredients

    • crème fraiche - can be substituted with sour cream (see note below)
    • heavy cream - heavy cream has a milk fat of at least 36% and can also be called heavy whipping cream
    • sugar - I use white granulated sugar
    • fresh mixed berries - choose your favorite or whatever is on sale
    • brown sugar - for the topping
    • graham crackers - a sweet, crisp cracker made from graham flour
    • fresh mint leaves - as a garnish

    *Check recipe card for full ingredients and amounts.

    Chef's Note: While sour cream and crème fraiche taste similar and are made the same way, crème fraiche has more fat and less water, creating a richer, thicker ingredient. Crème fraiche works better in higher-heat dishes because it doesn't curdle like sour cream. It has a milder tanginess compared to sour cream which balances out the fruit in this dessert.

    Berry Options

    Popular choices include blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and raspberries, but you can experiment with diced kiwi, mango, cubed cantaloupe or pineapple if you prefer.

    Or, get even more adventurous and try some exotic fruits such as pomegranate seeds and lychees. Pomegranate seeds are amazing in my pomegranate mojito mocktail but would also work beautifully in this dessert.

    Tools

    Besides an electric skillet, you will also need: 4 small ramekins (7 oz. or 8 oz.) and a small baking rack that fits inside of your electric skillet.

    How to Make it

    1. Preheat electric skillet to 400ºF.
    2. In a medium bowl, whisk crème fraiche, heavy cream, white sugar and vanilla together until well combined.
    3. Distribute 2 cups berries into 4 small ramekins. Cover each with the cream mixture evenly. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
    4. Place a small baking rack inside the electric skillet. Place the ramekin molds on top of the rack. Cover and cook for 25 minutes.
    5. Cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with the crumbled cookies, mint leaves and more fresh berries right before serving.

    Storage Tips

    • Cream doesn't last long at room temperature, so stash leftovers in the fridge as soon as possible.
    • While this dessert is best consumed immediately, you can cover the ramekins with plastic wrap to keep the dessert fresh in the fridge for another 1 to 2 days.
