The LEMON CREAM with just 3 ingredients and no gelatin! A real delight! Perfect to serve as a spoon dessert in cups or small glasses, but also great as a filling for pies and cakes! You will taste what a delicious flavor it leaves in your mouth, delicate and velvety, really too good! In the portions, I have set 2 cups to use it as a dessert to end a meal, but if you want you can serve this cream in smaller glasses (like espresso size) to make mini tasting portions. And now, go prepare it because it takes no time at all! Oh, I forgot, nothing needs to be cooked!

Ingredients to prepare the lemon cream with just 3 ingredients
- 12 oz Fresh cream cheese
- 5 tablespoons Sugar (or 5 of erythritol or 2 scant of stevia)
- 1 Lemon (the grated zest of the whole lemon and the juice of half)
Preparation of the lemon cream with just 3 ingredients
Take the cream cheese and put it all in a large bowl.
Add the sugar and mix well using a spoon or electric beaters at low speed.
Now add the grated zest of one lemon and incorporate it with the rest.
Finally, add the juice of half a lemon and mix it well with a spoon (using beaters at this point would deflate the cream too much, so I don’t recommend them) until you get a smooth, thick, and creamy mixture.
At this point, pour the cream into cups (I used 2 medium-sized ones) or glasses, cover with cling film, and place in the fridge until serving time; you can prepare them in advance!
USEFUL TIPS:
You can garnish with freshly cut lemon slices (as I did) or with caramelized lemon slices (just cook them in a small pan with some sugar for 5 minutes).
Alternatively, you can replace the lemon slices with lemon jelly for garnish.
