Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons yield the best flavor and aroma. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Zest the lemons before juicing them: Lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the lemon delights. Be sure to zest the lemons before juicing them, as the zest is located in the outer layer of the peel.
- Don't overcook the lemon curd: The lemon curd should be cooked until it is thick and bubbly, but not so long that it becomes rubbery.
- Chill the lemon curd before assembling the lemon delights: Chilling the lemon curd will help it to set and make it easier to work with.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the lemon delights: A sharp knife will help you to get clean, even cuts.
Conclusion:
Lemon delights are a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make lemon delights that are sure to impress your friends and family.
