Lemon Brûlée

• tempo totale: 6 hours

Ingredienti

This is a very simple but incredibly effective dessert. I saw a bunch of these recipes going around last summer, and thought I’d give it a go - well worth it - it’s effectively a lemon posset with a brûlée top. Delicious and so easy.

Using 4 lemons (get ones without wax on the shell, as will use the zest), split 3 of them in half lengthways and remove the flesh

Pass the flesh through a sieve measure out around 110ml, and reserve it in a bowl

Istruzioni

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

Pour the mixture back into the lemon shells and chill in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight

Top with brown sugar and use a torch to melt / brown it

Serve once the sugar has set hard
