In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, granulated sugar, eggs, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, and cook until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5–7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Allow the lemon mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
While the lemon mixture is cooling, whip the heavy cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form.
Once the lemon mixture has cooled, gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture in three additions. Use a spatula to fold carefully, preserving the light and airy texture.
Divide the Lemon Cream Citronfromage into individual serving glasses or bowls and smooth the tops with a spoon.
Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours or until set. Optionally, garnish with additional lemon zest, fresh berries, or a sprig of mint before serving.
