Instructions

1. Prepare the Milk Mixture

  1. Heat the Milk:
    • Pour the 400ml (13.5 fl oz) of fresh cow’s milk into a saucepan. Grate the rind of one lemon into the milk. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar and stir well.
  2. Cook the Milk:
    • Place the saucepan on the stove and heat the milk, stirring occasionally, until it’s hot but not boiling.
  3. Strain the Milk:
    • Once heated, remove the saucepan from the stove and strain the milk to remove the lemon rind. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture

  1. Beat the Egg Yolks:
    • In a bowl, beat the 2 egg yolks together with 40g (1.4 oz) of sugar until the mixture turns pale and creamy.
  2. Add Corn Starch:
    • Add 15g (0.5 oz) of corn starch to the egg mixture and mix well until smooth.
  3. Combine with Milk:
    • Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture in a thin stream, stirring continuously until a uniform mixture is obtained.

3. Thicken the Cream

  1. Cook the Cream:
    • Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and return it to the stove. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens completely. This should take a few minutes.
  2. Cool the Cream:
    • Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Pour the cream into a clean bowl, cover with cling film, and allow it to cool completely.

4. Combine with Condensed Milk

  1. Mix Condensed Milk and Lemon Juice:
    • In a large bowl, combine 100g (3.5 oz) of condensed milk with the juice of 1 lemon. Use a stand mixer to beat the mixture for 3-4 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
  2. Add the Cooled Cream:
    • Add the cooled cream to the condensed milk mixture. Beat again with the mixer for a few more minutes until the mixture is homogeneous and smooth.

5. Serve and Decorate

  1. Pour and Level:
    • Pour the prepared cream into a serving dish and level the surface with a spatula.
  2. Decorate:
    • Sprinkle the top with cinnamon, cocoa, or grated chocolate for decoration.
  3. Chill:
    • Refrigerate the dessert for 30 minutes to allow it to set and cool completely.
