Little Lemon Creams

Submitted by Panda Rose

"I stumbled across this recipe yesterday whilst looking for something quick and easy. I did not have any lemons in store except for bottled juice, so I made the alternative and used the beautiful navel oranges that are available instead. It was superb. It is a Rachel Allen recipe which is always good to follow. I halved the recipe and still found it very sweet so next time I will decrease the amount of sugar. I have described the recipe as I found it, adjust the sugar to your taste. I don't like very sweet things."

• Ingredients: 3
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 500 ml double cream
• 140 g caster sugar
• 2 lemons or 1 orange

directions

1. Dissolve the sugar in the cream and bring to the boil.
2. Simmer for 3 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and some grated lemon rind.
4. Spoon into pretty glassed or dishes and leave to set.
5. I put some orange segments on the top after it had set to make it look pretty.
6. ( I still added a bit of lemon juice with the orange juice, partly because it was too sweet, but I think it helps it to set better with lemon juice.).
