Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325ðF (165ðC).
  2. Lightly spray four 4-ounce ramekins or custard cups with vegetable cooking spray.
  3. Divide the Bing cherries evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  4. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cherry brandy over the cherries in each ramekin.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat flour and fructose until combined.
  6. Add the evaporated skim milk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  7. Whisk vigorously until the batter is smooth and well-blended, with no lumps.
  8. Pour the batter evenly over the cherries in each ramekin.
  9. Place the ramekins in a larger baking dish and fill the dish with hot tap water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and puffed but the centers remain slightly soft and jiggly.
  11. Remove from the water bath and let cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
