Lemon Ginger Creme Brulee Recipe
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Place ginger into a small bowl and pour enough boiling water over the top until it is just covered.
  • Let it steep for 1-2 minutes and then drain it well.
  • Zest one lemon on a cutting board and combine it with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Finely mince it with a chef's knife until the zest is incorporated into the sugar.
  • Warm the cream and milk in a saucepan over medium heat, adding the blanched ginger and lemon sugar.
  • Heat just until steam starts to rise, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and allow it to steep for 15 minutes.
  • Whisk the egg, the yolks, sugar, ground ginger, lemon juice and salt together in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Slowly add the cream mixture, whisking as you pour into the egg mixture.
  • Strain the mixture, squeezing the ginger to push all the liquid trough.
  • Pour the mixture into individual ramekins.
  • Place the ramekins in the bottom of a baking pan.
  • Fill the pan half way up the sides of the dishes with water.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes or until just set. The center should bet set, don't overcook.
  • Remove the cups from the water bath and allow them to cool. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Combine the sugar and brown sugar together and just before serving, sprinkle each with the sugars.
  • Broil on low for 2-3 minutes to brown the top. Watch them carefully so that they don't burn.
