Cooking steps

1. Whip the cream with sugar in a deep bowl until it starts to thicken noticeably, then, while continuing to whip, add the grated lemon zest and then the lemon juice. Whip until the cream thickens enough that it stops dripping from the whisk.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cream 33%: 300 ml
   • Sugar: 60 g
   • Lemon: 1 piece

2. In another bowl, whip the egg whites into a homogeneous white dense mass. Gently fold the egg whites into the cream — not with a whisk, but with a spatula. Divide the result into glasses and place in the refrigerator for fifteen minutes.
