Meyer Lemon Cream With Graham Crackers And Sea Salt Recipes

MEYER LEMON CREAM PUDDINGS WITH GRAHAM CRACKERS AND SEA SALT

Steps:

• Cook eggs, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened (mixture should coat a spoon), 8-10 minutes.
• Transfer mixture to a blender and blend on low speed, gradually adding butter, until mixture is smooth (you're not trying to aerate the mixture, so keep blender on low speed). Transfer lemon curd to a medium bowl, cover, and chill at least 2 hours.
• Just before serving, whisk cream into lemon curd. Layer lemon cream and graham crackers in small glasses or bowls, finishing with graham crackers. Top with lemon zest and sea salt.
• DO AHEAD: Lemon curd can be made 1 week ahead. Keep chilled.

LEMON SQUARES - GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degree F with a rack in the center of the oven.
• Make in a 9 inch square pan.
• Place the graham cracker crumbs and the melted butter in a medium mixing bowl.
• Use a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula to mix them together thoroughly.
• Scrape the mixture into the baking pan, and use your fingers to press the mixture evenly onto the bottom of the pan.
• Bake for 7 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven to cool while you make the lemon filling.
• Keep the oven at temperature setting.
• Break the eggs into a large mixing bowl, then add the granulated sugar.
• With the mixer on high speed, beat the mixture until it is light yellow and almost doubled in volume, about 3 minutes.
• Move the beaters around the bowl and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula several times while mixing.
• Add the baking powder and salt, and beat on low speed until just mixed, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
• Beat in the lemon zest and juice.
• Pour and scrape the filling into the crust and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and wiggles only slightly when the pan is moved.
• Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool.
• Place confectioners' sugar in a small sieve and sprinkle generously over the top of the cooled fining.
• Cut into 16 squares.
