Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- To medium saucepan set over medium heat, add the cream and heat until cream starts foaming around the edges. Do not boil.
- Remove the cream from heat and whisk in the lemon extract. Let cool slightly and as you prepare eggs.
- In a large bowl, whip the egg yolks, sugar and lemon zest until pale yellow in color and slightly thicken. While stirring constantly, gradually add the hot cream mixture into the eggs mixture. Add the cream slowly to avoid cooking the eggs. Mix until combined.
- Pour equal amounts into 2 ramekins (6 ounces each). Transfer ramekins to a baking pan (9-inch or bigger) and fill baking pans with hot water about halfway up the sides of ramekins.
- Bake custards until set but still jiggly in the center, about 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on cooling rack. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- When ready to serve, combine superfine sugar and lemon zest in a small bowl. Rub the zest into the sugar until fragrant. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon sugar mixture over each ramekin.
- Using a torch, melt the sugar until golden brown. Or using an oven set to broil, broil for 30 seconds to a minute to melt the sugar. Be careful not to burn the sugar (like I did).
- Let cool until the sugar hardens. Serve with fresh strawberries.
LEMON CREME BRULEE
Here's a refreshing, tangy twist on a classic. Don't have the kitchen torch traditionally used for creme brulee? Simply pop the ramekins under the broiler.-Sara Scheler, Helenville, Wisconsin

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°. In a large saucepan, heat cream until bubbles form around sides of pan; remove from heat. In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar and salt until blended but not foamy. Slowly stir in hot cream. Stir in lemon zest and extract., Place five 6-oz. broiler-safe ramekins in a baking pan large enough to hold them without touching. Pour egg mixture into ramekins. Place pan on oven rack; add very hot water to pan to within 1/2 in. of top of ramekins. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean (centers will still be soft), 45-50 minutes., Immediately remove ramekins from water bath to a wire rack; cool 10 minutes. Refrigerate until cold., To caramelize topping with a kitchen torch, sprinkle custards evenly with remaining sugar. Hold torch flame about 2 in. above custard surface and rotate it slowly until sugar is evenly caramelized. Refrigerate 30-60 minutes before serving., To caramelize topping in a broiler, preheat broiler and place ramekins on a baking sheet; let stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Sprinkle custards evenly with remaining sugar. Broil 3-4 in. from heat until sugar is caramelized, 2-3 minutes. Refrigerate 30-60 minutes before serving.

SILKEN CREME BRULEE (WITH 12 VARIATIONS)
This is for the 'temper egg' challenged. Though the recipe is 'temper' free, it truly comes out smooth and silky. From Southern Living, one basic recipe with 12 variations, from sweet to savory. See variations listed in instructions below. The amount yield depends on the size of your cups. You can bake ahead of time, but you should wait until just a few minutes before serving to caramelize the sugar, otherwise the caramelized sugar will begin to liquify if sits for more than an hour. Don't eliminate the waterbath. It creates a cushion from the heat, allowing the custard to bake slowly without curdling. Naturally, cook time varies, but they're easier to make than one thinks...guaranteed.

Steps:
- Whisk together first 4 ingredients until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture evenly into 5 (5"x1") round ramekins or custard cups. Place cups in a large roasting pan or a 15x10" jellyroll pan. Add hot water to pan to a depth of 1/2 inch. (Tip: All baking times are for 5"x1" round baking dishes. Adjust baking time more or less according to your cup size. See test for doneness in next paragraph.) As a general rule, 4 oz. cups yield 10 servings, 6 oz. cups yield 7 servings and 8 oz. cups yield 5 servings.).
- Bake at 300 degrees for 40 - 50 minutes or until almost set. Cool custards in water in pan on a wire rack. Carefully remove from pan; cover and chill 8 hours. (Tip: Baking times may need to be adjusted according to size of the baking cups. The creme brulee is done when the center is slightly liquid and a knife will NOT come out clean.).
- Sprinkle about 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar over each custard then place custards in a jellyroll pan.
- Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat (if using an electric oven, leave door partially open) until sugar melts. (Tip: When you broil the brown sugar, get the creme brulee as close to the heating element as possible. You may need to place an inverted roasting pan on the top shelf of the oven; then place the brulee on a baking sheet on top to elevate. A chef's secret is to nestle the custards in a pan filled with ice; then broil. The ice keeps the custards cold while the sugar melts.) Let stand 5 minutes to allow sugar to harden. Garnish, if desired.

LEMON CREME BRULEE
To ensure the custards cook gently and gradually, place the ramekins in a baking pan lined with a kitchen towel and partially fill the pan with hot water (known as a water bath). This helps insulate the delicate custards from the heat.
