(Fat-free!) Crème Brûlée

This is my 10 year old daughter's favorite dessert. I found the recipe in a cooking magazine over 10 years ago, though I don't remember which one. You'll never know it's fat-free!

Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently until thickened:
           1/3 cup sugar
           3 Tbs. cornstarch
           1/4 tsp. salt
           2 cups fat-free half and half

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla:
           1/2 tsp. vanilla

           1 cup fresh raspberries, blackberries or sliced strawberries 
           3/4 cup brown sugar

Set oven control to broil. Spray 4 custard cups or small bowls with cooking spray. Divide berries between 4 dishes, then spoon hot crème over the top. Sprinkle 2 Tbs. brown sugar over the top of each crème. Broil 4-6 inches from heat in oven for 2-3 minutes, or just until sugar melts. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
