Lemon-Lime Satin Creams image

Here is an easy, citrusy dessert that can be made ahead of time for the most part. Mix lemon and lime zest with eggs, sugar and cream, and then refrigerate for up to two days -- the longer the better. Then, bake it in ramekins for about half an hour, and serve. Superfine sugar can be found in the baking aisle or made with regular sugar using a mortar and pestle.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Finely grated zest and juice of 2 lemons
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
6 large eggs
1 1/4 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine lemon zest and juice, lime zest and juice, sugar and eggs. Whisk until smooth. Add cream, whisk again, and transfer to a large pitcher. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate from 2 hours to 2 days, the longer the better to bring out fullest flavor.
  • When ready to bake, heat oven to 300 degrees. Heat a kettle of water until just steaming; do not boil.
  • Place six 1-cup ramekins in a roasting pan and pour cream mixture into them. Pour hot water into pan to come about halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake until cream is just set, 30 to 35 minutes; it will still wobble, but will firm as it cools.
  • Remove ramekins from water and allow to cool. Serve at room temperature, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Serve with shortbread or plain, crisp cookies.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I used a vegan egg replacer in this recipe. It turned out just as well as the original recipe!

I was disappointed with this recipe. The custard was too runny and the meringue was too stiff.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but it didn't turn out well for me. The custard was too thick and the meringue was too runny.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
