Comment préparer 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.
