Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lemons
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
5 large egg yolks
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 to 4 cups boiling water (enough to reach halfway up the outside of the ramekins)
2 to 3 tablespoons superfine sugar (turbinado or raw sugar, for topping)
Optional Candied Lemon Peel
1 large lemon
2 cups water
2 1/4 cups sugar (granulated, divided )

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • With a fine grater, zest 2 lemons . Set the lemon zest aside and then juice 1 lemon. Refrigerate the second zested lemon for another use.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 F.
  • Place six 4-ounce ramekins or four 6-ounce ramekins in a large baking pan or roasting pan.
  • Put the heavy cream and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a medium saucepan. Add the finely grated lemon zest-about 2 tablespoons-to the cream. Heat until the cream begins to simmer.
  • While the cream is heating, beat the egg yolks and salt in a small bowl.
  • Slowly whisk the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the mixture along with 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Divide the cream mixture evenly among the 6 ramekins.
  • Add boiling water to a depth of about halfway up the ramekins.
  • Bake the custards for about 30 minutes, or until the creme brulee has only a slight jiggle in the center when moved.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and leave the ramekins in the water bath for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the ramekins from the pan. Discard the water from the pan and place the ramekins back in the pan. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  • Just before serving, top the custards with about 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of superfine or raw sugar. Gently rotate the ramekin on the countertop to distribute the sugar evenly over the top. Slowly caramelize the sugar with a blow torch or a kitchen torch. The edges of the ramekins will get hot as you caramelize the sugar, so wear an oven mitt to move them.
  • Alternatively, you may place the sugar topped custards in a pan and place the pan under a preheated broiler. Broil just until the sugar has caramelized , rotating the pan about halfway through. Watch carefully.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • With a vegetable peeler, remove the outer yellow peel from a large lemon. Slice the strips of lemon into thin strips.
  • Put the lemon peel in a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Drain.
  • To the lemon peel in the saucepan, add 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1 cup of fresh water. Place the pan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the peels appear translucent. Drain and arrange the peels in a single layer on a sheet of parchment paper to cool.
  • Toss the cooled lemon peel with about 1/4 cup of sugar to coat. Use to garnish desserts.
  • Enjoy!

KEY LIME CREME BRULEE



Key Lime Creme Brulee image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 egg yolks, plus 3 egg yolks
1 1/2 ounces sugar
10 ounces heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split
2 ounces sweetened condensed milk
3 ounces key lime juice
Puff pastry, store bought
Fruit puree, as a garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Over a double boiler, whisk 3 egg yolks and sugar to a thick, ribbon-like texture. In a separate pot, combine the heavy cream and split vanilla bean, and bring to a boil. Temper the egg yolk mixture into the cream, by whisking a little of the hot cream into the eggs, while constantly whisking, and then whisk the yolk mixture back into the hot cream. Return to the heat and, while whisking continually, finish cooking to a custard stage, approximately 1 or 2 minutes.
  • For the second part of the creme brulee, whisk the remaining 3 egg yolks for 1 minute. Add the condensed milk and whisk for another minute. Add the key lime juice gradually and whisk for 1 minute. Combine the creme brulee filling with the key lime filling and chill in the refrigerator until needed.
  • To make the crust, roll out a sheet of puff pastry very thin, 20 by 10-inches. Cut 6 (4-inch diameter) circles out of the puff pastry to line 6 (3-inch) tart pans. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Line the pastry rings with the pastry dough and trim the excess dough flush to the edge of the ring. Place a piece of parchment paper on each tart shell and fill with beans and bake until golden, about 10 minutes. The shells should be very thin and even.
  • To assemble, fill the shells with the key lime filling and level the tops with a spatula. Dust the tops of the desserts with sugar and using a torch caramelize the tops. Place the desserts on a plate and serve with fruit puree, if desired.

LIME CREME BRULEE BARS



Lime Creme Brulee Bars image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     dessert

Time 4h10m

Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon freshly grated lime zest
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg plus 3 yolks
1 tablespoon lime zest plus 1/2 cup lime juice
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 to 3 tablespoons sugar, for sprinkling
4 thin slices lime, quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with foil, overhanging the edges by an inch.
  • For the crust: Combine the butter, sugar and lime zest in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on high until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and add the flour and salt. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together (it should be in big, loose crumbles, not dusty). Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the foil-lined pan. Bake until light golden and set, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
  • For the filling: Combine the whole egg and yolks, lime zest and juice and sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl and whisk until very smooth. Pour into the crust and bake until completely set, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool completely on a rack, then refrigerate until chilled and very set, at least 3 hours.
  • For the topping: Preheat the broiler.
  • Remove the bar in one piece using the foil as handles (loosen the corners with a paring knife, if needed). Cut into 16 squares and place on a foil-lined baking sheet, spaced about an inch apart. Sprinkle the tops evenly with the sugar. Broil until the sugar is caramelized and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your broiler. Let cool a few minutes before transferring to a serving tray. Garnish with lime quarters and serve.

LEMON AND VANILLA CREME BRULEE

Time 50m

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 150C/ 130C fan/ gas mark 2. Arrange six 125ml ramekins in a deep sided baking tin and set aside.
  • Pop the kettle on to boil. Put the cream, milk and vanilla in a small pan over a medium heat until it is just starting to steam. Meanwhile, put the eggs, sugar, cornflour and lemon zest in a jug and mix well.
  • Once the milk is steaming, stir a little into the egg mixture. Then gradually add remaining milk mixture, stirring all the time. Divide the brulee mix between the ramekins and pour enough boiling water into the roasting tin to come to a third of the way up their sides. This will act as a temperate control. If the eggs get too hot, they will curdle rather than cook into a smooth, creamy custard.
  • Carefully transfer to the oven to bake for about 30 minutes or until almost set but still with a little wobble in the centre. Remove from the oven and carefully lift out of the bain-marie to cool completely. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • Once the brulees are cold, sprinkle on the caster sugar and caramelise the sugar with a blowtorch, passing it back and forth across the tops until the brulees go a golden brown.
  • Top with the mango chunks in the centre of the brulees and serve.

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.

LEMON BASIL CREME BRULEE



Lemon Basil Creme Brulee image

Basil-infused custard atop lemon curd, topped with a crisp candy shell! NOTE that the cook time includes chilling in the fridge after you bake it.

Provided by Da Huz

Categories     Dessert

Time 4h20m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 bunch basil, tied
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup lemon curd
2 tablespoons sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat the cream in a pot with the basil. Stir regularly, especially as it gets warmer, to avoid forming a skin on top. When it is simmering, but before it begins to boil, remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
  • In a small bowl, with a fork, cream the egg yolks and sugar until smooth. Try not to incorporate much air into the mixture.
  • Place the 1 tbsp lemon curd in the bottom of each of four ramekins and spread evenly.
  • SLOWLY drizzle cream into eggs, continuing to beat with the fork. If you pour too quickly, the hot cream will cook the egg. Again, try not to incorporate any air as you mix.
  • Split the raw custard evenly between the ramekins. Place into a baking pan. Pour water into the pan (making sure not to splash any water into the ramekins) until the water goes halfway up each ramekin.
  • Carefully transfer to the oven and bake about 30 minutes. Actual time will depend on the shape of the ramekin. Custard is done when it is set but still a little jiggly.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Then cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge. Chill at least a couple hours. You can keep this in the fridge several days if you like.
  • Just before serving, sprinkle with a couple teaspoons of sugar. Use a kitchen torch to melt and caramelize the sugar. If you don't have a kitchen torch you can use the broiler in your oven, but be careful, the sugar burns easily!
