Lemon creams
These light and flavoursome lemon creams are "set" by the curdling action of the lemon juice on the heated cream, so no thickening agent is needed.
They are served in individual glasses, topped with a layer of fruit coulis (blackcurrant here).

Step by step recipe
Stage 1
Put 250 ml liquid cream and 80 g caster sugar into a small saucepan. Add the zest of 1 lemon and mix well.
Stage 2 - 10 min.
Heat gently up to 176°F (80°C). A thermometer is useful for this, but if you don't have one, just be careful not to allow the cream to boil.
Stage 3 - 1 min.
Take off the heat and add the lemon juice all at once.
Stage 4 - 30 min.
Mix well - you should notice it thicken slightly - then leave at room temperature to cool for 30 minutes.
Stage 5
When it has cooled to room temperature,
divide the cream between the individual glasses. Stand these on a cloth laid on a baking sheet.
Cover with plastic film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Stage 6
Just before serving, top with a thin layer of fruit coulis, such as blackcurrant.
Stage 7
Decorate with a sprig of mint, if you wish, and serve.
Remarks
The quantities given are for a small, accompanying dessert. If they will be the main dessert feature, it would be better to double the quantities and the size of the dish.
Keeping
A few hours in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
