Raspberry Brulee with Lemon Zest
Raspberry Brulee with Lemon Zest is a delectable dessert that combines the sweetness of raspberries with the tanginess of lemon zest. This dish is perfect for those who love to indulge in a rich and creamy dessert that is easy to make.
To make this Raspberry Brulee with Lemon Zest, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup of fresh raspberries
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of lemon zest
To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract until it becomes light and fluffy.
Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. Add the lemon zest and mix well. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
Divide the raspberries evenly among four ramekins. Pour the custard mixture over the raspberries, filling each ramekin about 3/4 full. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake the Raspberry Brulee with Lemon Zest for 30-35 minutes or until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar over the top of each ramekin. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it turns golden brown and forms a crispy crust.
The Raspberry Brulee with Lemon Zest is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The creamy custard is infused with the bright citrusy flavor of lemon zest, while the fresh raspberries add a burst of sweetness. The caramelized sugar on top adds a delightful crunch to the dish.
This dish can be classified as a dessert and its three main ingredients are raspberries, heavy cream, and egg yolks.
