Shall we go to the recipe?

Ingredients:

• Sicilian lemon juice: 120 ml
• Granulated sugar: 190 g
• Lemon zest: 2 tablespoons
• Eggs: 120 g (at room temperature)
• Butter: 160 g

Instructions:

1. Bring the lemon juice, lemon zest, and half the sugar to a boil.
2. Lightly beat the eggs with the remaining sugar.
3. Add 1/3 of the boiling lemon juice mixture to the egg mixture, stir well, then return the entire mixture to the pan, stirring constantly until it thickens. Once thickened, remove the cream quickly by placing the pan in a bowl of ice water. When the temperature reaches about 120°F, add the chilled butter cut into small cubes and stir well.

Tip: Do not add butter when the cream is too hot to prevent it from separating. The cream should be warm, yet cool enough to properly blend the butter.

For the Whipped Cream:

• Whip 1 cup of chilled heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.
• When the lemon curd has completely cooled, gently fold in the whipped cream and refrigerate covered with plastic wrap until ready to use.

To Assemble Individual Serving Cups:

You’ll need:

• Graham crackers
• Lemon curd
• Mixed berries

Instructions:

• Roughly break some Graham crackers (or any of your preference), and place at the bottom of the cup.
• Add the lemon cream on top, followed by the mixed berries.

Tip: You can also brush the berries with some jelly or honey for extra shine.
