A rich and decadent baked custard highlighting the unique flavor of Jersey butter, topped with honey and fresh berries. This dessert is surprisingly simple to make and offers a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease four ramekins.
In a medium bowl, cream together the softened Jersey butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, heavy cream, and whole milk.
Gradually add the egg yolk mixture to the butter mixture, whisking constantly until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the custard mixture into the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet. Fill the baking sheet with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a water bath).
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center. They will continue to set as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully transfer the ramekins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly.
Before serving, drizzle each custard with honey and top with mixed berries.

For a smoother custard, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the ramekins.
If using frozen berries, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid to prevent the custard from becoming watery.
Adjust the sweetness of the custard by adding more or less sugar according to your preference.
For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
Consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the custard base to enhance the sweetness and butter flavor.
