Ingredients

2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons cake flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
20 fresh raspberries, plus more for garnish
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Directions

In a large bowl with an electric mixer or wire whisk, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla extract; continue to whip until the whites hold soft peaks. Sift the cake flour, sugar, and salt, together; gently fold the dry ingredients into the whites with a rubber spatula.

Take 2 (6-ounce) ramekins and put 10 raspberries in the bottom of each. Spoon the batter into the ramekins and set them in a bamboo steamer with a lid. Heat 2-inches of water in a wok over medium flame, set the steamer in the wok and steam the custard for 15 to 20 minutes.

Run a thin knife around edges of the ramekins and turn upside down onto plates. Garnish with raspberries, mint, and a dusting of confectioners' sugar.

VARIATION: To steam the custard at the same time as the Black Bass in Miso Soup entree, simply prepare the batter before assembling the steamers. Wrap the ramekins in plastic wrap (so they won't smell of fish) and put them in the top tier of the bamboo steamer. Steam everything together as directed in the recipe.

This was really easy, a great summer dessert. I made to bring to an outdoor concert, so ran knife around & then chilled... them; unmolded at serving time. Brought a squirt bottle with some fresh raspberry coulis to squiggle on the plain white paper plates.Read more

This was delicious and easy to make, but I steamed these for the prescribed 20 minutes, in the top level of a bamboo steamer... over my wok, and still, once cooled enough to remove from the ramekins, they stuck and were a mushy mess... albeit, a very tasty mushy mess. Next time, I would use a little less lemon juice (it deflated my eggs a bit) and steam for more like 25-30 minutes. The upside: for about 150 calories apiece, this was delicious and easy!Read more
