List of Ingredients: Dessert


Method:
Ingredients 
1L Cream 
3 cinnamon sticks 
Zest of 1 orange 
Zest of 1 lemon 
6 egg yolks 
90g caster sugar 
 
Method 
  • Bring cream to the boil with cinnamon sticks and zest. 
  • Upon reaching boiling point take cream off the heat and allow flavours  to infuse for 5 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, add sugar to eggs and whisk until creamed.
  • Gradually pour warm cream over the eggs, whisking all the time.
  • Set mixture over a pot of boiling water (bain-marie) and cook mixture until it coats the back of a wooden spoon (this will take about 30 mins, so make sure the water does not come into contact with the bowl, or the mixture may curdle).
  • Strain mixture though a fine sieve and pour into 8 suitable ramekins (small round dishes).
  • Allow to chill for 3 hours in the fridge. 
Serve 
  • Scatter the surface of the crema catalana with brown sugar and caramelise with a flame thrower or under the grill.
  • The crema catalana goes well with vanilla ice-cream, fresh fruits, or sweet biscuits.
