Preparation Lemon Cream Cup with Cookies and whipped cream

  • First, grate the zest of 1 lemon, then extract 200 ml of juice with the juicer.

  • If you want, you can replace 50 ml of lemon juice with an equal amount of orange or grapefruit juice.

  • In a small saucepan, mix the sugar with the cornstarch using the hand whisk, then slowly add the lemon juice and finally the grated zest.

  • Once the solids have dissolved and there are no lumps, bring the saucepan to the stove and cook the egg-free lemon cream.

  • It will take only 5 minutes, be sure to stir frequently with the hand whisk to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.

  • Remove the cream from the stove, cover with cling film in contact, and let it cool.

  • Once the cream is at room temperature, whip the cream to stiff peaks along with the powdered sugar.

  • Crumble the cookies using a meat tenderizer or a food processor fitted with blades.

  • Assemble the Egg-free Lemon Cream Cups by placing a portion of crumbled cookies at the bottom of the cups.

    Compact them a little with the back of a spoon.

  • Distribute a couple of generous spoonfuls of egg-free lemon cream on top.

    Then decorate with whipped cream placed in a pastry bag.

  • Decorate with lemon zest obtained with a vegetable peeler.

    Place in the refrigerator for at least another 30 minutes before enjoying it cold.
