Ingredients
Ginger brulee
Method
Ginger brulee
1.In a medium saucepan, combine cream and ginger. Place on medium heat and bring to boiling point. Remove from heat.
2.In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat yolks, sugar and cornflour together 4-5 minutes, or until thick and pale. Gradually add cream mixture in a steady stream, beating constantly.
3.Return mixture to a clean saucepan. Cook on medium heat 6-8 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
4.Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a jug. Pour evenly into six 3/4-cup ramekins. Cover and chill overnight, until set.
5.Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over tops of set custards. Using a gas torch, gently draw the flame back and forth across the surface until sugar dissolves and caramelises.
We served our brulee with a selection of lychees, chopped mango and sliced white peaches.
