Ingredients

2/3 cups sugar
1 whole egg
4 egg yolks
1 1/4 c. heavy cream
1 teaspoon grated Meyer lemon rind
1/2 cup Meyer lemon juice

Optional: additional whipping cream for garnish
Lemon drop candies for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325F

Whisk lemon juice, sugar, egg, egg yolks together. Whisk in the cream until the sugar dissolves. Pass the mixture through a strainer; stir in the lemon rind.

Place 6 - 3/4 cup pot de creme cups, or (soufflé, or custard cups) in a large roasting pan. Divide the mixture evenly into the cups. Pour enough hot water in the pan to come halfway up the sides of the dishes. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Place in oven and bake until the custard is just set around the edges, approximately 35 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven. Remove dishes from the pan and allow them to cool. Then, cover and chill in refrigerator at least 2 hours and as long as overnight.

To Serve
Optional: Beat the remaining whipping creme until soft peaks form. Spoon creme into a pastry bag with a star shaped tip. Pipe one star in the middle of each dish and top with a "lemon drop" candee.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
