Ingredients
3 large lemons
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tbsp lemon zest
2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Zest and juice the lemons. Set aside.
In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, sugar, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Strain the mixture if you prefer a smoother texture.
Pour into serving glasses or ramekins.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until set.
Notes
Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor—avoid bottled juice.
Do not skip chilling time; it’s essential for setting the dessert.
You can serve with berries or shortbread for extra texture.
The mixture thickens naturally due to the acid reacting with the cream.
