No Bake Lemon Brulee Recipes

LEMON CREME BRULEE

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!
