Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for lemon custard:
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (160Β°C). Place a large baking dish filled halfway with water on the lower rack of the oven. This will create a water bath for baking the custard.
- Prepare Custard Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined and slightly thickened. Add in the lemon juice, lemon zest, melted butter, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Strain Mixture: For a smoother custard, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or zest.
- Pour into Ramekins: Pour the custard mixture into individual ramekins or a baking dish. Place the ramekins or dish in the water bath in the preheated oven.
- Bake: Bake the custard for about 30-35 minutes or until set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Chill: Remove the custard from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled and set.
- Serve: Once chilled, you can serve the lemon custard as is or with whipped cream and fresh berries for garnish.
Enjoy your delicious lemon custard!
