Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

  2. Bring orange juice, lemon juice, and lime juice to a boil in a saucepan, cook until reduced to about 2 tablespoons liquid, 8 to 10 minutes.

  3. Heat cream and 1/3 cup sugar together in a separate saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar completely dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes, remove from heat.

  4. Whisk egg yolks together in a bowl until frothy. Whisk reduced juice mixture into egg yolks until fully combined. Pour cream mixture in gradually, whisking constantly, until thin custard forms.

  5. Strain custard mixture through a fine sieve, divide into six 5-ounce ramekins. Place ramekins in a baking dish, pour in enough boiling water to come half way up the sides of ramekins.

  6. Bake in preheated oven until just set, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, cool slightly, and cover ramekins with plastic wrap, refrigerate at least 4 hours.

  7. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  8. Remove plastic wrap from ramekins. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar in a thin layer over top of each ramekin. Brown sugar under a broiler until golden and caramelized, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Recipe Yield

6 ramekins

Recipe Note

This is an excellent creme brulee with a slightly tart kick. Serve with fresh fruit slices (orange or kiwi suggested) and whipped cream, if desired.
