INGREDIENTS

  • 284 ml Double cream
  • 100 g Caster Sugar vanilla preferably but if you don’t have vanilla caster sugar, add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream when you remove from the heat
  • 1 Lemon juice only

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Heat the cream and sugar in a large saucepan. Boil for three minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and quickly stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract (if using). The cream will thicken as you add the lemon.
  • Strain into a jug (to remove any skin that the hot cream might have produced) and pour into ramekins. Chill for at least six hours. I chilled them overnight.
  • They will set to an incredibly firm but creamy texture and taste perfectly tangy. Serve with some butter biscuits or fresh raspberries.
