Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter for ramekins
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar for ramekins and batter
  • 4 large eggs separated
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar for custard
  • 1/4 cup Meyer lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 teaspoons Meyer lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter six 6-ounce ramekins and coat with sugar. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk egg yolks, 1/3 cup sugar, Meyer lemon juice, and zest. Cook over medium heat until thickened, about 3–4 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold into the cooled custard.
  • In another bowl, beat egg whites to stiff peaks, gradually adding 3 tablespoons sugar.
  • Gently fold egg whites into the custard in batches until just combined.
  • Divide the mixture evenly among prepared ramekins.
  • Bake on a baking sheet for 12–15 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Serve immediately.
