Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups heavy cream Ensure it's Halal-compliant.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Adjust sweetness to preference.
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice About 2-3 lemons.
  • 1 unit zest of 1 lemon Use fresh lemon for best flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, pour both the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Whisk them together over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Do not let it boil.
  2. Once the sugar has dissolved, take the saucepan off the heat. Gradually whisk in the fresh lemon juice along with the zest.
  3. Optionally, strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl or jug to catch any zest for a smooth texture.
  4. Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls, leaving space at the top for toppings. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  5. Once set, add your favorite toppings and serve chilled.

Notes

Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve chilled for the best texture. Adjust sugar for sweetness preference and try toppings like fresh berries or crushed pistachios.
