Advice
Bake low and slow and pull the ramekins while the center still trembles, they finish setting in the fridge and stay silky, not eggy. 🍮
Why it works 💡
Yuja marmalade gives aromatic citrus oils that survive baking, and straining plus a gentle water bath removes bubbles for a restaurant smooth custard. 💡
Twist 🌶️
Swap black sesame brittle for 40 g toasted pistachios (⅓ cup / 1.4 oz) in a honey brittle, or add 5 ml dark rum (1 tsp / 0.17 fl oz) to the custard for a deeper aroma. 🌶️
