Dobby’s Favorite Dish

For Dobby’s favorite dish, first preheat the oven to 90 °C convection. It is important that the oven temperature is exactly right for this recipe, because if the oven is too cold, the cream will not set, but if it is too hot, you will end up with scrambled eggs.

Mix the sugar and the egg yolks in a bowl. Wash the lime, dry it and grate the peel. Cut the lime in half and squeeze.

Cut the vanilla pod in half lengthwise, scrape out the pith with the back of a knife and bring to the boil with the cream and milk over low heat, stirring constantly. Cool briefly and add the hot cream-milk mixture to the egg-sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Let cool completely.

Stir the lime juice and yogurt into the cooled cream. Then pour the cream through a fine sieve into a clean bowl and stir in the lime zest.

Divide the cream among heatproof bowls (fill about 3/4 full) and cook in the preheated oven for 60 minutes on the middle rack. Then remove the small bowls from the oven, cover with greaseproof paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Sprinkle a little cane sugar over each of the custards and caramelize with a flambe burner or under the oven broiler until golden brown. Serve Dobby’s favorite immediately.
