Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ⅔ cup monk fruit/allulose
- ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 4 lemons
Instructions
- Slice the lemons in half lengthwise and use a small paring knife to carefully remove the flesh and pulp, placing it in a bowl. Use a lemon squeezer to extract the juice, keeping the excess for other uses like lemonade or salad dressings.
- Place the lemon halves on a serving plate. If any are unsteady, trim a small amount of zest from the bottom to stabilize them, then set aside.
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sweetener over medium-low heat.
- Stir frequently until the sweetener dissolves, then let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it rest for 15 minutes. Add the lemon juice and zest, stirring to mix well.
- Pour the mixture into the lemon halves, reserving any extra for small ramekins (fill only halfway to ensure proper setting).
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results. Serve chilled with fresh berries or a slice of lemon on top.
Notes
For a sweeter taste, adjust the amount of sweetener to your preference.
Ensure the lemon halves are stable in the serving plate to avoid spills.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for extra creaminess.
