Lemon diplomatic cream is a fresher and more fragrant variant of the classic diplomatic cream and combines the delicacy of cream with the freshness of lemon.
This cream with an intense flavor, thanks to the presence of lemon zest and limoncello, is ideal for filling cakes, cream puffs, or tarts, but is also excellent as a dessert to enjoy by the spoon.
Its flavor results from the combination of cream, which provides smoothness and creaminess, and limoncello, which adds an alcoholic note that enhances the taste of lemon.
Making it is simple and requires little time, but it is important to use nicely scented lemons and fresh cream.
You’ll get a citrusy cream that will surely be appreciated by those who favor these flavors.
