Description
A delightful dessert combining zesty lemons with a creamy texture, served in natural lemon shells.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Lemon shells (made from lemon halves)
Instructions
- Begin by cutting the lemons in half and carefully scooping out the insides to create your lemon shells. Set these aside for later use.
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sugar over medium heat. Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Bring the cream and sugar mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld. Once it reaches a simmer, remove it from heat.
- Carefully stir in the fresh lemon juice and zest until everything blends smoothly. Let the mixture cool slightly before pouring it into your prepared lemon shells. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set. Serve chilled for a refreshing treat.
Notes
For best results, chill overnight to ensure the right consistency. Use fresh lemons for optimum flavor.
