Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest about 1 1/2 lemons
- 1/3 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice about 1 1/2 lemons
- Optional garnishes: Fresh berries, mint leaves
Instructions
- Combine the cream, sugar and zest in a medium saucepan set over medium heat.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once it’s at a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes, stirring a few times to prevent a skin from forming.
- Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl and discard the zest.
- Divide the mixture evenly between 4-6 individual ramekins or serving glasses.
- Refrigerate uncovered until set, 3-5 hours. Garnish as desired and serve.
