How to Make Cranberry Mascarpone Pots De Creme

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Position oven rack in the middle.
  2. Lightly butter or spray 8 pots de crème cups or 6 four-ounce ramekins.
  3. In a shallow bowl, combine 1 cup fresh cranberries with 2 tablespoons brandy or orange juice. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  4. Drain cranberries and pat dry. Divide evenly among the prepared cups, arranging them on the bottom.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs until light and frothy.
  6. Add 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Whisk until completely smooth and creamy.
  7. Pour the mascarpone mixture evenly into the prepared cups, filling almost to the top.
  8. Gently sprinkle each pot de crème with a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
  9. Place the ramekins in a larger baking pan. Line the bottom of the pan with a dishtowel.
  10. Carefully pour hot water into the baking pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins (bain-marie).
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the edge comes out clean. Do not overbake!
  12. Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath using the dishtowel.
  13. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pots de crème to set completely.
  14. Serve chilled and enjoy!
