Lemon Ginger Creme Brulees Recipes

LEMON GINGER CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 F.
• Place four 6-ounce ramekins in a large baking dish with high sides. After you fill the ramekins, you will fill the baking dish with boiling water.
• You will need the zest of both lemons, and the juice of one.
• Add the lemon zest, ginger, cream, salt, vanilla bean and sugar to a saucepan.
• Heat over a medium setting until the sugar has dissolved, and the cream just begins to simmer.
• As the cream mixture is heating, add the egg yolks and a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl. Beat them together until thick and well blended.
• Once the cream mixture is simmering, remove from the heat and fish out the vanilla bean.
• Add the cream to the egg yolks slowly as you whisk the mixture together.
• At this point, it's a good idea to start the water boiling that you'll need to cook them.
• Add the lemon juice at the last minute, and blend.
• Divide the mixture among the ramekins, and add boiling water to the baking dish to about halfway up the ramekins.
• Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. The custard should be mostly firm, with a slight softness in the center.
• Remove the pan from the oven when they are ready, and let the ramekins sit in the hot water for another 15 minutes to set.
• Discard the water, and refrigerate the ramekins for at least 4 hours. They should be chilled all the way through.
• Divide the superfine sugar between the ramekins, rotating as you do to distribute it as evenly as possible in a layer.
• Use a small blow torch or kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar layer slowly. Be careful, because the ramekins will also get hot.
• If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can also place the ramekins in the baking dish, and in the oven under the broiler. Watch the ramekins carefully, and rotate the baking dish at least once, when you notice one side beginning to brown.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the cream in a saucepan with the ginger. Bring it just below boiling. Don't let it boil. Stir it occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. Simmer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile cream together the egg yolks and 5 tbsp sugar in a mixing bowl.
• Remove saucepan from heat and add lemon. Strain into a bowl.
• SLOWLY pour the cream into the egg, whisking gently with a fork to mix evenly. Be careful not to incorporate any air into the mixture or you'll have bubbles in your custard. And be careful not to pour too quickly or you'll cook the egg.
• Divide the mixture evenly between 4 ramekins and place in a lasagna pan (something with high sides). Pour water into the pan (but don't get any into your ramekins) until it comes about halfway up your ramekins.
• Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes (more or less depending on the shape of your ramekins - short wide ones cook faster than taller narrower ones). They're done cooking when they are set, but the center is jiggly.
• Remove from the water bath and cool, uncovered, on the counter until they reach room temperature. Then cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 2 days (they need to chill for at least 4 hours).
• When ready to eat, remove from the fridge, take off the plastic wrap, and top with a thin layer of white and brown sugar. Use a torch to caramelize the sugar, or you can place them under the broiler (but you have to watch them constantly to make sure they don't burn).

GINGERBREAD CRèME BRûLéE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
• Add the cream, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice, black pepper, nutmeg, and ginger to a medium pot and whisk to combine. Turn the heat to medium-low and bring to just below a boil, about 200°F (95°C), about 10 minutes. The cream should start to bubble around the edges of the pan. Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and steep the spices for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the egg yolks, 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, the brown sugar, and molasses to a large bowl. Whisk until the sugar dissolves. The mixture will be a golden honey color and should fall off the whisk in ribbons.
• Set a fine-mesh sieve over a 4-cup liquid measuring cup or medium bowl and strain the cream mixture to remove the solids.
• Slowly pour the strained cream into the egg yolk mixture, adding only a little at first to temper the eggs, whisking continuously until well incorporated. Use a spoon to skim any excess foam that may have accumulated on the surface.
• Line a high-walled baking dish with a small dish towel or 1-2 paper towels to prevent the ramekins from sliding in the dish. Set 6 6-ounce ramekins in the dish. Ladle the custard into each ramekin, filling almost completely.
• Carefully pour enough boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins, taking care not to splash any water into the custard.
• Transfer the baking dish to the oven. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the custard is set around the edges of the ramekins but still jiggles in the center when shaken. The custard will continue to set as it cools.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the custards cool in the water bath until safe to handle, about 20 minutes. Transfer the custards to the refrigerator to set completely, at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar over the surface of each custard. Using a blow torch, caramelize the sugar until golden brown and hardened (it is okay if it darkens more in some areas). (Alternatively, set the ramekins on a baking sheet and broil on high for 3-4 minutes, until the sugar is golden brown and hardened.) Let the crème brûlées cool for 10 minutes.
• Set a 3-inch gingerbread man parchment paper cut-out on top of a crème brûlée and dust with powdered sugar. Remove the cutter and repeat with the remaining crème brûlées. Serve immediately after dusting.
