Lime Ginger Creme Brulee

Ingredients

• 600 mL Cream
• Zest of 1 lime (in two piles)
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 6 Egg yolks
• 200 grams Caster sugar

Directions

1. Place cream, ginger and lime zest in a saucepan.  Bring to just below boilin point.  Remove from heat and allow to infuse for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 130*C.
3. In a bowl, beat yolks, additional zest and 100g of sugar until pale.
4. Reheat cream mixture until warm, then strain into egg mixture.
5. Beat to combine, being careful not to overbeat as you will end up with bubbles.
6. Pour the mixture into 4 200mL ramekins.
7. Lay a folded tea towel in the base of a roasting pan and sit the dishes in the pan.
8. Pour enough boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the dishes.
9. Bake for 30-35 minutes until just set – they should still wobble slightly.
10. Remove from the oven, cool and then chill for at least 4 hours.
11. When ready to serve, sprinkle with remaining sugar.
12. Caramelize the tops with a blow torch, or under the grill.
13. Enjoy cracking the top!
