Ingredients

3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon rose water*
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch fine sea salt
3/4 cup fresh or frozen and thawed raspberries, mashed
4 packets carbonated candy (recommended: Pop Rocks)

Directions

Special equipment: 4 (4 to 5-ounce) ramekins

*Can be found at specialty gourmet markets

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium saucepan, heat the cream, milk, and rose water over medium-low heat until warm, about 4 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until smooth. Slowly whisk in the milk mixture. Stir in the mashed raspberries. Using a ladle, divide the mixture between 4 ramekins. Place the ramekins in an 8 by 8-inch baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30 minutes until the custard is almost set. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the ramekins to cool while still in the water, about 1 hour. Remove the ramekins from the water and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.

Serve with a packet of carbonated candy.

very disappointed
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Giada, you are one of my favorite chefs and I've tried many of your recipes and they have all been good except for this... one. It just had no flavor and wasn't sweet enough. We even put a little whipped cream on top but there just wasn't any flavor to this dish. I didn't even taste the rose water. To the person who asks how do you know how custard is set, you slip a knife in the center and if it comes out clean it is done. Also, when the custard starts to pull away from the sides that's a good indication that it's done. Hope this helps.Read more

TOTALLY AWESOME
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these for my wife. She's a meat and potato type person...she's doesn't even like to try new things. I made these... "rose thingys" as my wife likes to call them and we both took one bite and though "hmm...not too sure about this" We took a second byte and totally fell in love. I was so surprised that my wife said "honey! You can make these again!". ;-) I just made my second batch tonight and this time I have pop-rocks. I can't wait to try the pop-rocks with the "rose thingys" :) Read more

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Giada - I made this dessert twice. The first time, I didn't let the pudding cool in the tray of water - so it seemed that... the custard was not as smooth. But, the second time I made it... I followed your instructions to the T and it was absolutely delicious. My Fiance wants me to make it again. JenniferRead more
