Lemony Yogurt Custards with Cranberry-Apple Salad
- One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- Finely grated zest and juice from 1 lemon, preferably Meyer lemon
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- Kosher salt
- 3 cups full-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, halved
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup finely diced tart green apple, such as Granny Smith
- 1/4 cup finely diced fennel
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Preheat the oven to 325.
- In a bowl, whisk the condensed milk with the grated lemon zest, vanilla bean seeds, cloves and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.
- Whisk in the yogurt until smooth.
- Arrange eight 8-ounce ceramic or glass ramekins in a large roasting pan and pour about 1/2 cup of the yogurt mixture into each ramekin.
- Add enough boiling water to the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake for about 12 minutes, until the custards are set but slightly loose in the centers.
- Transfer the ramekins to a rack and let cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cook the lemon juice, cranberries, sugar and 1 cup of water over high heat until the cranberries are just tender, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
- Drain the cranberries; save the syrup for another use.
- In a bowl, toss the apple and fennel with the olive oil and season lightly with salt.
- Spoon the cranberries and the apple salad over the custards and serve.
