Silken Lemon Creme Brulee
- 1 (12 ounce) box firm silken tofu
- 1/2 cup soy cream cheese (or regular cream cheese)
- 1/3 cup white sugar, plus
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 grated lemon, zest of (2 teaspoons)
- 1 lemon, juice of (3 tablespoons)
- 1/2 cup white sugar (for caramel)
- Combine the tofu, cream cheese, sugar and lemon zest in the bowl of a food processor. Process until creamy and perfectly smooth, then add the lemon juice and pulse to combine, scraping the bowl down several times.
- Divide the mixture among six wide, shallow heat-proof dishes or bowls. Smooth the tops as flat as possible and chill for at least two hours.
- To caramelize, use a brulee torch or preheat broiler until blazing hot. Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar evenly over the surface of the custard. Set the dishes on an upside-down baking dish so the surface are no more than one inch away from the heat. Watch carefully as the sugar melts and then caramelizes; it goes fast once it starts. If you're using a torch, move the torch back and forth until the sugar melts and browns. Let stand a moment, then serve.
- Cook time does not include chill time.
