Ingredients:
  • Milk 500mL
  • White sugar 130g
  • Yolks 7 about 130g
  • Rice starch 40g
  • Lemon zests 2
Procedure:

We pour 500mL of milk into a small saucepan and grate the zeste (peel) of two organic lemons in the milk, bring it to a low heat boil. In the meantime, in a bowl, put 7 yolks, paying attention to separate them well from the egg whites, 130g of white sugar and 40g of rice starch and with a whisk mix well the mixture eliminating any lumps.

As soon as the milk boils, transfer it to the egg yolk bowl, filtering it with a strainer to remove the lemon peel.
 Dissolve the two compounds well and transfer them back into the previously used pot.

Put a larger pot of water on the fire and place our pot inside and continue cooking in bain-marie continuing to stir until it thickens at that point transfer the cream into a clean bowl and put it in the fridge to cool for a couple of hours.
Now it is ready to taste or to garnish cakes and tarts.

Tips:
  • Always cover the cream during cooling with transparent film.
  • You can blend the lemon zest with the milk for a stronger taste.
