Delicious Summer Lemon Pots!
I have shared these before on my blog but they are so simple, delicious and elegant that I felt I should share them again. As the long days of Summer are giving way to shorter days and somewhat milder temperatures, there is still time for a light delicious chilled dessert.
Lemon Pots
Ingredients
1/2 Cup Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest
(about 2 lemons)
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
(makes approx. 4-5 servings)
Combine heavy whipping cream and sugar in a pot and cook over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook an additional 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir and let sit for a few minutes and then place in little dishes. I used 5 small Limoges berry dishes. Place in refrigerator to set and cool.
Then you can add any garnish you like. We added a sprig of mint (just bought myself a very pretty and so fragrant mint plant), whipped cream and some tiny pearl candies.
So very delicious and refreshing!
I recommend them for a nice summer treat that will impress your family and quest! Don't forget to make a nice fragrant tea to go with your lemon pots!!!
Enjoy,
