Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 large lemons (zested and juiced)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking your lemon dessert.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, sugar, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Prepare the baking dish: Lightly grease a small baking dish or individual ramekins to prevent sticking.
  4. Bake: Pour the lemon mixture into the prepared dish and place it in the oven. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the dessert is set and slightly golden on top.
  5. Cool and serve: Allow the lemon dessert to cool completely at room temperature before serving. It can also be chilled in the refrigerator for a firmer texture and refreshing taste.

Notes

  • For a more intense lemon flavor, use organic lemons so you can safely zest the peel.
  • You can add a dusting of powdered sugar or fresh berries for garnish before serving.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dessert, increase the sugar slightly to 1 cup.
  • Ensure not to overbake to keep the texture smooth and custard-like.
