One of my all time favorite songs is only 1m52s long – that’s not much for a song, but it doesn’t stop it from being beautiful.
These lemon pots are made in no time at all and are delicious – it took me a little longer than the song to put them together; they developed a wonderful velvety texture after resting in the fridge.
I’m finally on vacation now - see you in three weeks!
UPDATE: my lemon broccolini soup has been featured on the Saveur magazine website! :D
Lemon cream pots
from Donna Hay magazine
2 cups (480ml) heavy cream
½ cup (100g) caster sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
¼ cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
whipped cream, to serve
Place cream and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add lemon zest and juice and stir to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
Pour into four ¾-cup (180ml) capacity dishes and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until set.
Top pots with the whipped cream and serve.
Serves 4

These delightful desserts look similar to a lemon posset. I think it is almost like kitchen alchemy!!!

I adore lemon pots de creme. They are so lovely, Patricia. And yay! on the Saveur mention. It's well deserved.
They look delicious and I love the little cups and spoons you served them in
Ok, not only are those super cute, they sound delightful! I love lemon desserts like this ... creamy and refreshing. I've made a chocolate version of this a million times. I will have to make this now. I bet it would be lovely in lime too!!
These are so beautiful! I love lemon cream like this, but I've never made it at home. I guess it's time to try!
I love the idea of a crust-less lemon pie. Perfectly, beautiful gluten-free and my favourite kind of tangy.
These look beautiful and sound so refreshing, Patricia. And congratulations on having your soup on the Saveur website--very cool!

Yes! I'm a cupcake baker, mostly, but I have a massive bag of spare lemons, and I know what I'm making...
