Ingredients

4 servings
  • 2 -3 lemons (divided use)
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2 ⅓ cups milk
  • ¾ cup light cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps

  1. Wash and dry the lemons. Using a fine grater or a zester, zest the lemons to create 1 tablespoon of zest.

  2. Cut the lemons in half and juice them to make ¼ cup of juice.

  3. Place sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest in a medium saucepan, whisk to combine. Whisk in egg yolks, milk, and cream.

  4. Heat over medium-low heat while whisking until thickened and the mixture starts to boil. This will take about 15 minutes.

  5. Once boiling, let bubble for 1 minute while whisking. Remove from the heat and stir in butter, lemon juice, and vanilla. Pour into a medium bowl.

  6. Immediately cover with plastic wrap, resting the wrap on the surface of the custard.

  7. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
