NO-BAKE LEMON CUSTARDS WITH STRAWBERRIES



No-Bake Lemon Custards With Strawberries image

Ultracreamy but still ethereally light, these individual custards are set with lemon juice rather than eggs, cornstarch or gelatin. They are thick and velvety, but not overly rich, with a bright, clean citrus flavor. Based on a British dessert called a posset, the key is to simmer the cream and sugar before adding the fresh lemon juice, giving the cream a chance to thicken slightly. In this summery version, the custards are served with a topping of syrupy, sugared strawberries and a sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper, which adds a gentle spicy note without overwhelming the fruit.

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest (from 1 to 2 lemons)
Pinch of fine sea salt
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 to 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Freshly ground black pepper, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine cream, sugar, lemon zest and salt over medium-high heat. Bring to simmer, stirring frequently to dissolve sugar. Simmer vigorously until mixture thickens slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Let sit until mixture has cooled slightly and a skin forms on top, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir mixture, then strain through fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup with a spout; discard zest. Pour mixture evenly into six 6-ounce ramekins or small bowls.
  • Refrigerate, uncovered, until set, at least 3 hours.
  • As the custards chill, prepare the strawberry topping: Toss strawberries and sugar in a small mixing bowl. Let fruit macerate at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until the sugar is dissolved.
  • To serve, top each lemon custard with some strawberry topping and grind black pepper on top.

STRAWBERRY LEMON CUSTARD SHORTCAKE



Strawberry Lemon Custard Shortcake image

I just had to buy the June issue of Canadian Living so I could make the cover recipe! I made some changes to the biscuit portion - you could substitute with sponge or angel food cake, if you prefer. Standing time has not been included.

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon coarse sugar
4 egg yolks
2 cups milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
4 cups sliced strawberries
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons brandy (optional)
whipping cream

Steps:

  • BISCUITS: Sift dry ingredients together; mix in zest.
  • Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Make a well in the center & pour the milk in; mix the flour into this until it forms a ball - when the mixture comes away from the sides of the bowl without sticking, its ready; if necessary, add a little more flour.
  • Turn out onto a floured surface & gently knead 5 or 6 times - no more or it will become tough.
  • Roll out about 1/2" thick, cut with a cookie cutter or floured glass & place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Brush with lemon juice, sprinkle with coarse sugar & bake in preheated 450F oven for 8 to 12 minutes or until light golden colour on top.
  • CUSTARD: Whisk yolks, sugar, corn starch, zest & 1/4 cup of the milk in a bowl; set aside.
  • In a heavy saucepan, heat the remaining milk over medium heat just until bubbles form around the edge; gradually, whisk into the yolk mixture.
  • Return to the pan & cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat a spoon, about 5 minutes.
  • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl; stir in lemon juice.
  • Place plastic wrap directly on surface & refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours or up to 2 days.
  • BERRIES: Toss berries, sugar & brandy (if using) in a large bowl; let stand for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  • ASSEMBLY: Slice cooled biscuits in half horizontally & place bottom half on serving dishes.
  • Spoon some strawberries onto each biscuit & top with custard; place biscuit tops on top of custard.
  • Spoon more strawberries onto each biscuit top followed by whipped cream.
