LEMON GINGER CRèME BRûLéE



Lemon Ginger Crème Brûlée image

Crème brûlée is one of the superstars of the dessert world, with a luscious and creamy texture and hard candy finish. It's a delicious dessert that does require some prep time - but is oh so worth it. Our version blends in the flavors of Limoneira® lemon and ginger for an unexpected twist to a classic.

Provided by Anya Wassenberg

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Limoneira® lemons
3 tablespoons fresh ginger (finely minced)
2 cups heavy cream
Pinch salt
1 vanilla bean
1/4 cup granulated sugar
5 large egg yolks
2 to 3 tablespoons superfine sugar (for topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 F.
  • Place four 6-ounce ramekins in a large baking dish with high sides. After you fill the ramekins, you will fill the baking dish with boiling water.
  • You will need the zest of both lemons, and the juice of one.
  • Add the lemon zest, ginger, cream, salt, vanilla bean and sugar to a saucepan.
  • Heat over a medium setting until the sugar has dissolved, and the cream just begins to simmer.
  • As the cream mixture is heating, add the egg yolks and a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl. Beat them together until thick and well blended.
  • Once the cream mixture is simmering, remove from the heat and fish out the vanilla bean.
  • Add the cream to the egg yolks slowly as you whisk the mixture together.
  • At this point, it's a good idea to start the water boiling that you'll need to cook them.
  • Add the lemon juice at the last minute, and blend.
  • Divide the mixture among the ramekins, and add boiling water to the baking dish to about halfway up the ramekins.
  • Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. The custard should be mostly firm, with a slight softness in the center.
  • Remove the pan from the oven when they are ready, and let the ramekins sit in the hot water for another 15 minutes to set.
  • Discard the water, and refrigerate the ramekins for at least 4 hours. They should be chilled all the way through.
  • Divide the superfine sugar between the ramekins, rotating as you do to distribute it as evenly as possible in a layer.
  • Use a small blow torch or kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar layer slowly. Be careful, because the ramekins will also get hot.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can also place the ramekins in the baking dish, and in the oven under the broiler. Watch the ramekins carefully, and rotate the baking dish at least once, when you notice one side beginning to brown.
  • Serve immediately.

Provided by Da Huz

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups heavy cream
6 egg yolks
5 tablespoons sugar
1 inch ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon lemon extract or 1 drop lemon oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar, for topping
1 tablespoon sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • Heat the cream in a saucepan with the ginger. Bring it just below boiling. Don't let it boil. Stir it occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile cream together the egg yolks and 5 tbsp sugar in a mixing bowl.
  • Remove saucepan from heat and add lemon. Strain into a bowl.
  • SLOWLY pour the cream into the egg, whisking gently with a fork to mix evenly. Be careful not to incorporate any air into the mixture or you'll have bubbles in your custard. And be careful not to pour too quickly or you'll cook the egg.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between 4 ramekins and place in a lasagna pan (something with high sides). Pour water into the pan (but don't get any into your ramekins) until it comes about halfway up your ramekins.
  • Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes (more or less depending on the shape of your ramekins - short wide ones cook faster than taller narrower ones). They're done cooking when they are set, but the center is jiggly.
  • Remove from the water bath and cool, uncovered, on the counter until they reach room temperature. Then cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 2 days (they need to chill for at least 4 hours).
  • When ready to eat, remove from the fridge, take off the plastic wrap, and top with a thin layer of white and brown sugar. Use a torch to caramelize the sugar, or you can place them under the broiler (but you have to watch them constantly to make sure they don't burn).

LEMON CRèME BRûLéE TART



Lemon Crème Brûlée Tart image

This lemon crème brûlée dessert takes some time to prepare, but is well worth the trouble. Also, I recommend making an angel food cake with the egg whites that are not needed in this recipe.

Provided by bek_127

Time 6h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons lemon zest
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
2 large egg yolks
4 teaspoons lemon juice
2 medium lemons
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
10 large egg yolks
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup lemon juice
1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
½ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Pulse flour, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, and salt for crust in a food processor to combine. Add cold butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Mix egg yolks and lemon juice together in a small bowl; pour in through the chute and process until dough forms into a ball.
  • Use floured hands to remove crust mixture and press into two 9-inch tart or pie pans, covering the bottoms and up the sides. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove crusts from the oven and line with foil and pie weights.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove foil and weights and loosely cover the crust edges with foil. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake for 15 more minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • While the crusts are cooling, prepare filling: Remove lemon zest in strips with from both lemons with a vegetable peeler. Set lemons aside for another use. Place zest in a medium saucepan with cream, milk, and vanilla paste; bring to a simmer, then turn off heat and cover.
  • Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a 5-quart pot. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and lemon juice together in a heat-proof bowl over the water until sugar has dissolved; make sure the bowl is not touching the water. Stir with a heat-resistant spatula until mixture is thick and pale yellow, with a consistency of heavy cream, about 8 minutes.
  • Slowly stir in heavy cream-lemon zest mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until custard thickly coats the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read between 195 and 200 degrees F (91 to 93 degrees C).
  • Dissolve gelatin in water in a small bowl. Stir gelatin mixture into the custard and cook for 3 to 5 more minutes. Strain custard through a fine sieve into a 2-quart measure. Pour into the cooled crusts and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours.
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle 1/2 of the sugar over each tart to within 1 inch of the outer edges. Brûlée with a torch until sugar bubbles and is caramelized. Refrigerate, uncovered, until topping hardens, about 10 minutes, before serving.

GINGERBREAD CRèME BRûLéE RECIPE BY TASTY



Gingerbread Crème Brûlée Recipe by Tasty image

Rich, creamy custard meets some of your favorite holiday flavors-cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg-in this festive twist on a classic dessert. When ready to serve, set a 3-inch gingerbread man cut-out on top of each crème brûlée and dust with powdered sugar, then remove to reveal a deliciously perfect design.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Desserts

Time 5h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 qt heavy cream
2 whole cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon ground ginger
7 large egg yolks
12 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
boiling water, for baking
powdered sugar, for dusting
6 ramekins, 6 ounce
culinary blow torch, optional
gingerbread man parchment paper cut-out, 3 in (8 cm)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • Add the cream, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice, black pepper, nutmeg, and ginger to a medium pot and whisk to combine. Turn the heat to medium-low and bring to just below a boil, about 200°F (95°C), about 10 minutes. The cream should start to bubble around the edges of the pan. Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and steep the spices for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the egg yolks, 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, the brown sugar, and molasses to a large bowl. Whisk until the sugar dissolves. The mixture will be a golden honey color and should fall off the whisk in ribbons.
  • Set a fine-mesh sieve over a 4-cup liquid measuring cup or medium bowl and strain the cream mixture to remove the solids.
  • Slowly pour the strained cream into the egg yolk mixture, adding only a little at first to temper the eggs, whisking continuously until well incorporated. Use a spoon to skim any excess foam that may have accumulated on the surface.
  • Line a high-walled baking dish with a small dish towel or 1-2 paper towels to prevent the ramekins from sliding in the dish. Set 6 6-ounce ramekins in the dish. Ladle the custard into each ramekin, filling almost completely.
  • Carefully pour enough boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins, taking care not to splash any water into the custard.
  • Transfer the baking dish to the oven. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the custard is set around the edges of the ramekins but still jiggles in the center when shaken. The custard will continue to set as it cools.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the custards cool in the water bath until safe to handle, about 20 minutes. Transfer the custards to the refrigerator to set completely, at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar over the surface of each custard. Using a blow torch, caramelize the sugar until golden brown and hardened (it is okay if it darkens more in some areas). (Alternatively, set the ramekins on a baking sheet and broil on high for 3-4 minutes, until the sugar is golden brown and hardened.) Let the crème brûlées cool for 10 minutes.
  • Set a 3-inch gingerbread man parchment paper cut-out on top of a crème brûlée and dust with powdered sugar. Remove the cutter and repeat with the remaining crème brûlées. Serve immediately after dusting.
  • Enjoy!
