  • 1 large lemon (5 tbsp juice and zest)
Serving
  • berries of choice or lemon slice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Zest the lemon completely and set aside. Juice the lemon, you will need 5 tablespoons total.
  2. Bring cream, sugar and lemon zest to a boil over a medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium, and boil 3 minutes. Stir constantly, adjusting heat as needed to prevent mixture from boiling over. Be careful not to scorch the bottom, we want this silky smooth.
  3. Take off the heat and stir in lemon juice. You will notice the viscosity will go from liquid to a soft yogurt quickly. Let sit for 10 minutes to cool.
  4. Divide among 4-6 ramekins or glasses, depending on how much per person. Cover each with plastic wrap and chill until set, 2 hours or overnight (recommended). Garnish with fresh lemon slice, berries or mint.
