Lemon Crème Brulee

Almond Dacquoise

Green Strawberry Gelee

Wildflower Crème Fraiche

Method

Lemon Crème Brulee

  1. 1

    Prepare the custard

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, granulated sugar, and lemon zest. Heat until sugar dissolves and mixture simmers. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice. Gradually add the warm cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking continuously.

  2. 2

    Bake

    Strain the mixture into ramekins. Place ramekins in a baking dish filled with hot water. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 30-35 minutes until set. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

  3. 3

    Caramelize

    Before serving, sprinkle brown sugar on top of each custard and caramelize with a kitchen torch until golden brown.

Almond Dacquoise

  1. 4

    Prepare the meringue

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Whisk egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in almond flour and powdered sugar gently.

  2. 5

    Bake

    Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Cool and cut into rounds.

Green Strawberry Gelee

  1. 6

    Prepare the gelatin

    Soak gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes. In a saucepan, combine green strawberries and sugar. Cook until strawberries soften, then blend until smooth.

  2. 7

    Set the gelee

    Add the soaked gelatin to the strawberry puree and stir until fully dissolved. Pour into a mold and refrigerate until set.

Wildflower Crème Fraiche
