How to Make Lemon And Wine Custard

  1. In a heatproof bowl (that fits snugly over a saucepan), whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup (120ml) dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc), 1/4 cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
  2. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water). Whisk constantly for 12-15 minutes, or until the custard has thickened significantly and coats the back of a spoon. The mixture should be light and creamy.
  3. Remove the bowl from the heat and immediately strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. This removes any lumps or cooked egg bits.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon zest (optional, for extra lemon flavor).
  5. Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap (press it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming). Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
  6. Divide the chilled custard among serving glasses or ramekins. Garnish with fresh berries or a sprig of mint before serving.
