- Meanwhile, place the gelatin in a small dish and add 1/4 cup cold water.
- Set aside to bloom, about 5 minutes.
- Stir the gelatin into the custard and continue to stir constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the custard has cooled.
- (For rapid cooling, place the bowl of custard in a larger bowl of ice water.) Lightly grease a 5-cup mold or bowl with oil or nonstick cooking spray.
- Place heavy cream in a deep bowl and whip until peaks are firm but not stiff.
- Fold the lemon zest and then the whipped cream into the custard.
- Pour into the prepared mold and refrigerate until firm.
- When ready to serve, pull the custard away from the sides of the mold with your thumb to break the suction.
- Invert on to a serving dish and remove the mold.
- Surround with fruit.
