Lemon CUSTARD: FOOD52 “GENIUS Recipe”
Food 52 awarded this lemony dessert I came up with as one of their genius recipes a few years back. What I can tell you is it’s super healthy, incredibly creamy, takes six minutes to put together, and is just more evidence of how much I love extra virgin olive oil.
Ingredients
Instructions
If you have a blender with a hot soup setting, like a Vitamix, use that. Otherwise, any blender will work.
If using a regular blender, you will need a stove top and a saucepan for the next step.
In the blender, add the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and sugar.
Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 4 minutes.
After 4 minutes, pause the blender and carefully remove the lid.
Gradually drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while the blender is running on high speed.
Continue blending for an additional 2 minutes until the custard becomes creamy and the eggs are fully cooked.
After 6 minutes of blending, the custard should have a smooth and creamy consistency.
Carefully remove the lid and check if the custard slides down the side of the blender. If it does, the custard is done.
Transfer the custard to individual custard cups or serving dishes.
Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit or serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
