Ingredients
- 120 ml Lemon juice
- 2 whole lemons Lemon zest
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tbsp Unflavored gelatin powder
- 3 tbsp Water
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, granulated sugar, eggs, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
While the lemon mixture is cooling, whip the heavy cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Divide the Lemon Cream Citronfromage into individual serving glasses or bowls and smooth the tops with a spoon.
Step 8
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.
