Description

Easy tangy dessert recipes - really refreshing

Method

  1. 1

    1. Whisk the condensed milk and cream together until thick and very light, 4 or 5 minutes.

    2. Add the lemon juice and zest and whip for a few seconds only as the mixture will thicken very quickly.

    3. Spoon the lemon cream into ramekins, or a large trifle bowl and then chill for at least an hour, or overnight.

    4. To serve, muddle the mint leaves with the sugar and lemon juice and sprinkle a little onto the lemon cream.

Chef's Tips

Most creamy mousses need some sort of setting agent, gelatine being the most popular. Here, the reaction between the acid from the fruit, the condensed milk and the cream, make a great setting combination. Serve this with fresh raspberries and a crisp shortbread biscuit, see our recipe for Cardamom Shortbreads.
