There must be a reason why lemon custard has been around for so long, there aren't many treats that are so delicious and easy to make, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip had this dessert at their wedding.
Originally a hot-pot drink made from milk and curdled exactly, posset was used as a medicine, and in the 16th century the drink evolved into a dessert based on whipped cream, sugar and citrus.
Ingredients to prepare:
2 large lemons
2 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup sugar
First, we rubbed the lemons with a microplane or fine grater. You will need 1 tablespoon of zest.
Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice, whether you need the juice of one or two lemons depends on the size of the lemons and how juicy they are. You will need 6 tablespoons of lemon juice.
Pour the cream into a saucepan and whisk in the sugar and lemon zest until until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium heat, you need to make sure the cream doesn't overflow as it heats up very quickly. This dessert is very tasty as the tartness of the lemon complements the sweetness of the cream and sugar.
Turn off the heat, remove the pan from the heat, pour the lemon juice into the pan, stir well and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Strain the liquid once through a strainer, this gives the dessert a smooth texture, put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours, remove it and let it come to room temperature for 10 minutes, garnish with strawberries so that a serving of lemon custard, which was Queen Elizabeth's favorite, is ready to serve.
