2 large eggs
½ cup of sugar
Zest of 1 small lemon
â…“ cup of lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
ice for cooling
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup heavy cream

Whip together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy and a pale yellow. Mix in the lemon zest and the lemon juice. Make a double boiler by placing two similar sized saucepans on top of each other. The bottom pan should have a few inches of water. Bring to a boil and place the saucepan with the lemon mixture on top. Cook the lemon mixture, whisking often, until it starts to thicken and becomes pudding like. About 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in the butter and place the pan/bowl in an ice bath to allow the mixture to thicken. When slightly cooled, fold in the heavy cream and whisk until smooth. Allow to cool and enjoy! Keeps for 3 days in refrigerator.
