    Add cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla to a bowl. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.

  2. Step 2

    Divide the mixture among 4 small bowls or ramekins, filling about three-quarters full.

  3. Step 3

    Use a torch to caramelize the top until edges are dark brown and surface looks crackled, 30–60 seconds per bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Top each with strawberries, blueberries, and red currants. Serve immediately.
