Lemon cream is a refined dessert sauce of European cuisine, featuring a rich citrus flavor with a delicate creamy texture. It has its origins in French gastronomy, where lemon curd is valued for its versatility. The cream combines the freshness of lemon juice and aromatic zest, providing a balance between sweetness and pleasant tartness. Its smooth consistency is achieved through careful mixing of ingredients in a water bath. Lemon cream perfectly complements pies, cakes, pancakes, and ice cream and can also be used as a filling for tarts. After cooling, it becomes even thicker and richer, revealing new flavor dimensions. This cream is a true classic that can enhance any tea party.
