Zubereitung von Ginger Lemon Grass Crme Brule
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium saucepan, combine grated ginger and bruised lemongrass stalks. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer for 25 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
- Remove from heat and carefully strain the cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl, discarding the solids. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and ¾ cup granulated sugar until pale and thick.
- Gradually whisk in the warm cream infusion into the egg yolk mixture, ensuring a smooth and consistent texture.
- Stir in the lemon extract and bitters.
- Skim off any foam from the surface using a spoon.
- Divide the custard evenly among six (6-ounce) ramekins.
- Place ramekins in a large baking dish. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins (bain-marie).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the custard is just set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Carefully remove ramekins from the water bath and let them cool completely to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Before serving, sprinkle each Crème Brûlée with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
- Use a kitchen blowtorch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown. Alternatively, you can broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. Place ramekins on a baking sheet for oven broiling.
- (Optional Variation) Substitute ¼ teaspoon of grated lime zest for the lemongrass for a different citrus twist.
