Ingredients
- 4 cups heavy cream
- 1 vanilla bean seeds removed
- 1 lemon zest
- 7 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2 pints raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the cream, vanilla bean, and lemon zest in a heavy saucepan on medium low heat until steaming. Allow the flavors to infuse for about 10 minutes, then remove from the heat.4 cups heavy cream, 1 vanilla bean, 1 lemon zest
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Slowly add the lemon juice to the well-whisked mixture slowly, as though you’re emulsifying oil.7 egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup lemon juice
- Temper the eggs by adding a small amount of cream to the eggs to bring them to temperature. Then slowly pour the egg mixture into the hot cream while whisking to ensure the mixture does not scramble.
- Return to the stove and let it simmer a few more minutes or steep together off the heat for about ten minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it starts to coagulate on a wooden spoon. Use your finger to draw a line in the custard. If the line stays for a bit, it’s ready.
- Pour the custard into individual ramekins and place into a baking dish. Pour hot water into the baking dish (NOT into the ramekins) until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake in the oven until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center. This will be in the neighborhood of 60 minutes, but every oven will be different.
- Remove the roasting pan and chill the ramekins in the fridge until cold. When ready to serve, cover the top completely with raspberries.2 pints raspberries
Notes
