Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the lemons. Then, on a cutting board, cut the lemons in half lengthwise.
  2. Use a spoon to scoop out the pulp. If it does not come off easily, use a sharp knife to cut around the edge. In general, the flesh of thick-skinned lemons comes off easily.
  3. Collect the pulp in a strainer and squeeze out as much juice as possible. Place the strained juice in a small bowl and set aside.
  4. Make 40 ml (~3 tablespoons) of lemon juice. If the juice from 2 lemons is not enough, squeeze another lemon until you get the required quantity.
  5. Set aside the empty lemon rinds. Now make the Limoncello Custard.
  6. Pour the vegetable milk into a saucepan and heat it until it almost comes to a boil.
  7. Add the rice flour a little at a time through a sieve, stirring constantly. The cream will thicken rather quickly.
  8. Keep the heat very low and keep stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
  9. Add the sugar, lemon juice and limoncello. Turn off the heat and stir. The limoncello custard is ready!
  10. The custard should be firm, homogeneous and slightly gelatinous. Let it cool down a bit, then fill the lemon shells with the limoncello cream.
  11. Refrigerate for about two hours before enjoying this fresh, light dessert.
