I stole this right off a friend's Facebook page. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds insanely good. I'm thinking of putting a sugar crust on it like a creme brulee. Will let you know how it turns out.
(from a recipe in Fields of Greens)
8 egg yolks
2 whole eggs
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup Meyer Lemon juice (about 6-8 lemons)
1 tsp. lemon zest (about one lemon)
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk the eggs, yolks and sugar thoroughly, and then whisk in the cream and finally the lemon juice. Strain though a fine wire mesh or cheesecloth (if there's no pulp or seeds in your lemon juice you don't have to do this, but you'll get a more "refined" product), then stir in the lemon zest. Place ramekins (or custard cups) in a larger baking pan, fill with mixture, add water to pan until it's halfway up the sides of the cups, place in oven and bake 45 minutes or until custard is almost set in the center (it will continue to cook after it comes out of the oven).
Finally made these. Well worth the clogged arteries!
