Fruit Custard Brulee Ultra Light

Found on myfooddiary.com forums. A low-cal dessert for dieters, that the rest of the family will still enjoy. Chilling time for custard not included in time estimate. This makes a thin pudding, not a traditional thick custard. But it is yummy. Brulee" must be in the title because of the optional caramelized sugar topping?"

Steps

For the custard: in a small saucepan thoroughly combine 2 tbsp of the sugar with the cornstarch.
Add the milk and egg.
Cook and stir with a wooden spoon over medium heat just until the mixture begins to bubble.
Do not overcook.
Immediately pour the custard into a small bowl.
Let mixture cool about 5 minutes.
Whisk the sour cream into the custard.
Add the vanilla.
Cover and chill the custard for up to 24 hours.
To serve: divide berries evenly among four goblets or dessert dishes.
Spoon chilled custard over the berries.
Set aside and prepare topping.
Optional topping : in a heavy small skillet or saucepan heat the remaining 2 tbsp sugar over medium high heat until sugar begins to melt , shaking the skillet occasionally to heat evenly.
Reduce heat to low.
Cook sugar until melted and golden , stirring as necessary with a wooden spoon.
Quickly drizzle caramelized sugar over custard and serve immediately.
