A classic crème brûlée with a fresh, mild taste of lemon. To get crème brûlée extra crispy, you can cook twice.

Ingredients

Vanilla pod	1
Lemon	Peel Of ¼
Whipped cream	250 ml
Semi-skimmed milk	50 ml
Caster sugar	60 g
Egg yolks	3
Cane sugar	1½ tbsp

Instructions

Step 1

Heat the oven to 50 °. Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using a knife. Peel thin strips of lemon peel using a potato peeler.

Step 2

Mix vanilla pods, vanilla seeds, lemon zest, cream and milk in a saucepan. Boil while stirring. Remove from the heat and let it cool.

Step 3

Mix the sugar and egg yolks together. Strain the cream milk mixture and stir thoroughly. Pour the mixture into oven-safe dessert tins.

Step 4

Place the moulds in a water bath and bake in the bottom of the oven for about 60 minutes until the cream begins to solidify. They solidify further when they are cold. Store in a refrigerator until just before serving.

Step 5

Sprinkle raw sugar evenly into the moulds and burn the top with a gas burner or under the grill in the oven until the sugar melts and has a fine brown colour."
