Lemon Brûlée Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Lemons
- Using 4 lemons, get ones without wax on the shell as you will use the zest. Split 3 of them in half lengthways and remove the flesh.
Step 2: Extract Lemon Juice
- Pass the flesh through a sieve to measure out around 110ml of lemon juice and reserve it in a bowl.
Step 3: Make the Cream Mixture
- In a saucepan, add 500ml whipping cream, 120g white sugar, and the zest from the 4th lemon. Bring to a simmer and reduce slightly until it coats the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Combine Mixtures
- Whisk in the reserved lemon juice and it will thicken almost immediately.
Step 5: Fill Lemon Shells
- Pour the mixture back into the lemon shells and chill in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.
Step 6: Add Topping
- Once set, top with brown sugar and use a torch to melt/brown it.
Step 7: Serve
- Serve once the sugar has set hard. Enjoy your delicious lemon brûlée!
