Ingredients
- 2 lemons large and organic
- 220 g vegetable milk ~1 cup, I used oat milk, but rice milk is also fine
- 35 g rice flour 3 tablespoons, or cornstarch
- 50 g granulated sugar 4 tablespoons
- 40 ml lemon juice 3 tablespoons
- 40 ml limoncello 3 tablespoons
Instructions
- Wash and dry the lemons. Then, on a cutting board, cut the lemons in half lengthwise.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Set aside the empty lemon rinds. Now make the Limoncello Custard.
- Pour the vegetable milk into a saucepan and heat it until it almost comes to a boil.
- Add the rice flour a little at a time through a sieve, stirring constantly. The cream will thicken rather quickly.
- Keep the heat very low and keep stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
- Add the sugar, lemon juice and limoncello. Turn off the heat and stir. The limoncello custard is ready!
- The custard should be firm, homogeneous and slightly gelatinous. Let it cool down a bit, then fill the lemon shells with the limoncello cream.
- Refrigerate for about two hours before enjoying this fresh, light dessert.
