            Ingredients
            
    - 3 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries and blueberries)
     
    - 1 (2-ounce) jar crystallized ginger, coarsely chopped
     
    - 2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half
     
    - 3 cups cooked medium or long grain rice
     
    - ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar, divided
     
    - 1 tablespoon butter
     
    - ¾ teaspoon almond extract
 
         
        
            Directions
            
    - Preheat broiler. Combine berries and 3 tablespoons chopped ginger in medium bowl; set aside.
    
     
    - Bring heavy cream, rice, and ⅓ cup brown sugar just to a boil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently, or until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in remaining ginger, butter, and extract.
    
     
    - Spray 8 ovenproof custard cups* with vegetable cooking spray and place on baking sheet. Spoon equal amounts of rice mixture into each cup. Sprinkle evenly with remaining sugar; broil 2 to 3 minutes or until sugar completely melts and begins to bubble. Remove from broiler; let stand 2 minutes. Serve with berry mixture.
