Best of Boston 2017 BEST Bar, Nantucket Cru

6/30/2017

 
Picture
Already an island go-to for its waterfront location and killer raw bar, Cru wins our vote this year for its stacked beverage program. Pick your poison from a seat at the quartzite-topped bar or the scenic open-air deck: Both are prime perches for indulging in any number of boozy concoctions, from the restaurant’s signature Crucomber—a refreshing blend of Bison Grass vodka, lemon, cucumber, and toasted sesame—to the shareable Garden of Elyx, a fruity libation of Absolut, Applejack, green tea, and raspberry. Oh, and did we mention the wide-ranging wine list, with bottles sourced from Alsace to Santorini? You’ll want to check that out, too.

By Natalie Rohrer, Tripadvisor

Nantucket, Massachusetts

Picture
It’s not exactly news that Nantucket is one of the region’s best weekend getaways, but this island isn’t just a playground for the rich and famous. You might know it for its sprawling mansions—affordable when you split the cost with a group!—but it’s also home to charming cottages fit for two. Ditch the car and walk to the Old Historic District, or cycle through quaint neighborhoods with Nantucket Bike Tours. The classic architecture, nautical ambiance, and enchanting ocean views are the recipe for a memorable weekend trip.

CRU CHOCOLATE POT DE CRÉME

2/14/2017

 
Picture
This is one of our most beloved desserts at Cru.  Creamy and decadent. Absolutely perfect for Valentine’s Day.  

INGREDIENTS
4 c.  heavy cream
1 c.  whole milk
10 oz bittersweet chocolate chips (60% chocolate)
12 egg yolks
2/3 c.  sugar
1 1/2 t.  sea salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Place the chocolate in a large mixing bowl.  In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar and sea salt.  Meanwhile, heat the heavy cream and milk over medium heat until very warm.  

Pour half of the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and the other half over the sugar and egg yolks.  Whisk to thoroughly melt the chocolate and then combine the two mixtures. 

Divide pot de crème mix among 8 ramekins.  Place in a roasting or baking pan filled half way with warm water.  Cover with aluminum foil.  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they have a slight shake in the middle.  Remove the foil and cool completely.  
Serve topped with lightly whipped cream or dulce de leché and an additional sprinkle of sea salt.
