Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor for this dessert. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as bright.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs in the lemon cream filling should be cooked until they are just set. Overcooking the eggs will make the filling rubbery.
  • Chill the dessert before serving: The lemon cream dessert needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up.
  • Serve the dessert with fresh berries: Fresh berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries, are a delicious and refreshing addition to this dessert.

This lemon cream dessert is a light and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of tart lemon and sweet cream is sure to please everyone.
