Lemon Cream

This luxurious historical dessert combines the zesty brightness of fresh lemons with the richness of seven egg yolks to create a velvety, custard-like cream. The delicate balance of sweet syrup and tart citrus is slowly thickened over low heat, resulting in a smooth texture similar to a classic lemon curd but with a lighter, airier finish from the beaten egg white. Served thoroughly chilled, it makes for a refreshing and elegant palate cleanser or dessert perfect for warm afternoons.

Instructions

1Grease a 1-liter pudding basin with butter and dust with flour. This will prevent the pudding from sticking.
2In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
3Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
4Gently fold in the self-raising flour, lemon zest, and lemon juice until just combined. Do not overmix. Add milk to loosen the mixture if needed.
5Pour the mixture into the prepared pudding basin. Cover the basin tightly with a double layer of parchment paper or aluminum foil, securing it with string. Place the basin in a large saucepan and add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the basin. Cover the saucepan and steam for 1 hour, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Check the water level periodically and add more boiling water if necessary.
6Carefully remove the pudding basin from the saucepan. Let it stand for a few minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Serve warm with custard or cream.
