Instructions
- Wash the lemons, finely grate the zest of one, then squeeze the juice of both.
- In a saucepan, whisk together the eggs, yolks, sugar and a pinch of salt.
- Add the lemon juice and zest, then the butter cut into pieces.
- Set the pan over low heat and stir constantly with a spatula for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cream coats the spoon.
- Check the cooking: the cream should thicken without boiling. Take it off the heat as soon as it is smooth and glossy.
- Pour into a clean jar, let it cool, then cover and keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Variations and tips
Sweeter version. Replace half the lemon juice with orange juice for a less tart cream.
