Steps:

• Put the milk and the lemon zest in a saucepan and bring just to the boil. Remove from heat, cover and set aside. Let sit for 30 minutes in order for the lemon flavour from the zest to infuse the milk.
• Whisk the eggs together with the sugar. Strain the infused milk through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup. (Reserve the strainer with the lemon zest for a bit later)Whisking the whole time add the infused milk to the beaten eggs a little at a time in order to keep the eggs from cooking. Strain the mixture through the reserved lemon zest in the strainer back into the pan. Stir in lemon oil if using.
• Place 6 large (3/4 cup size) custard cups in a large shallow roasting pan. Divide the custard mixture between cups. Fill the roasting pan with boiling water just until it comes halfway up the sides of the custard cups.
• Carefully, place in a pre-heated 160*C/325*F oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until they jiggle only in the centre when you tap the cups lightly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and set a rack in the middle.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the melted butter. Divide the mixture among 4 (1-cup) custard cups and press down to form a crust on the bottom.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream and 1 tablespoon of the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Scald and remove from the heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yolks, the remaining tablespoon of sugar, vanilla, and rum. Whisk lightly, just to combine.
• Whisking lightly, gradually drizzle the scalded cream mixture into the egg mixture to warm it without scrambling the eggs. Strain the mixture and pour into custard cups. Place 6 raspberries in each cup, dunking them so they are coated with custard.
• Arrange the cups in a roasting pan and pour in hot water halfway up the sides. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the custards are set. Cool in the pan, then refrigerate, covered, up to 2 days ahead.
• If you like, sprinkle a light layer of sugar over each custard and place under a preheated broiler for about 2 to 4 minutes, watching that they don't burn. Serve immediately after glazing.

Steps:

• Finely crush the graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag with a rolling pin until they resemble small crumbs. Set aside in a small bowl.
• Whisk together the milk, liqueur and instant pudding in a medium bowl until the pudding thickens and begins to set, about 5 minutes.
• With a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer, beat together the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy and soft peaks begin to form, about 2 minutes. Add the pudding to the cream cheese mixture and fold to combine.
• To assemble, fill a resealable plastic bag with the pudding mixture and cut a small hole at one end. Add 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs in an even layer at the bottom of 6 individual cups. Top with a scant 1/4 cup pudding mixture, another layer of graham cracker crumbs, another scant 1/4 cup pudding and a final layer of graham cracker crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with an orange slice and maraschino cherry in each cup before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Put a kettle of water on the stove to boil.
• In a small saucepan on medium heat bring cream, milk, vanilla bean seeds and pod, and salt to a simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors and strain into a measuring cup.
• In a medium bowl, whisk yolks and sugar until fully incorporated. Slowly pour the cream mixture into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return custard to the liquid measuring cup.
• Place six 4 or 6-ounce ramekins inside a roasting pan and divide the custard evenly among them. Carefully pour the boiling water into the roasting pan, halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Transfer to the oven and bake 25-30 minutes, just until the custards are set.
• Remove ramekins from the oven and transfer to the fridge to chill completely, at least two hours and up to overnight.
• Sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg over custards just before serving.

Steps:

• Put the custard powder in a small jug then stir in 1/2 cup of the milk. Keep stirring until all the lumps have gone.
• Put a small saucepan on the stove, pour the rest of the milk into the pan, turn the heat to medium and heat the milk until bubbles form at the edge. Do not let the milk boil.
• Give the custard powder mixture a good stir, and then quickly stir it into the milk.
• Stir the custard until it boils and becomes thicker, and the pour the custard into a heatproof jug.
• While the custard is cooling a little, pour the boiling water into a large heatproof jug. Sprinkle the jelly crystals into the jug and stir until the crystals are dissolved and the mixture is clear.
• Put 4 serving glasses on a tray (they should be big enough to hold about 1 cup of liquid each).
• Pour the jelly evenly into the glasses, stir the custard then pour it slowly over the jelly, move the jug from side to side to make patterns in the jelly.
• Cover with Glad Wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until the jelly is set.
• Decorate with strawberries on top.

Steps:

• In a 1-qt. microwave-safe dish, heat the milk, uncovered, on high for 3 minutes or until hot (do not boil). With an electric mixer, beat in sugar, eggs, salt and vanilla. Pour into six ungreased 4-oz. microwave-safe custard cups. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3-1/2-4-1/2 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
