Recipe card for Creamy Lemon Dessert.
Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 100-120 ml of lemon juice
  • 60 g (4 tablespoons) of calorie-free sweetener, or any sweetener of your choice *use 80 g if you prefer it sweeter
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, cassava starch, or potato starch
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric *optional but recommended for color
  • 250 ml of plant-based cream or dairy cream
  • 250 g of unsweetened Greek yogurt or natural yogurt or plant-based yogurt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Lemon Mixture: In a small saucepan, combine the lemon juice, sweetener, and cornstarch (or the starch of your choice). Stir until smooth. If using turmeric, add it at this stage for a slight golden hue.
  2. Cook the Mixture: Set the saucepan on low heat and cook the mixture, stirring continuously, for about 3-5 minutes. You want the mixture to thicken as it heats up. Be sure not to let it boil rapidly, as this could affect the texture.
  3. Add the Cream: Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from heat. Slowly whisk in the plant-based cream (or dairy cream), ensuring the mixture remains smooth and creamy.
  4. Blend with Yogurt: Let the mixture cool slightly. Once it’s lukewarm, mix in the unsweetened Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt. Stir well to combine and achieve a silky, creamy consistency.
  5. Chill the Dessert: Transfer the creamy lemon mixture into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set and chill.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once fully chilled, your creamy lemon dessert is ready to enjoy! Serve it as is, or garnish with a bit of lemon zest for an extra citrusy kick.
