Creamy Lemon Dessert (No Bake – 5 Minutes!)
✅ Ingredients:
- 400 ml whole milk
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla sugar (or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract)
- 2 egg yolks
- 40 g sugar
- 15 g cornstarch (Maizena)
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2–3 tbsp)
- 100 g sweetened condensed milk
🥣 Instructions:
- Heat the milk base
In a saucepan, combine the milk, lemon zest, and vanilla sugar. Heat gently over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to infuse the milk with lemon and vanilla flavors. - Make the egg mixture
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and pale. - Temper the eggs
Slowly pour a little of the warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly (this prevents the eggs from scrambling). Then gradually add the rest of the milk while continuing to whisk. - Thicken the mixture
Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a custard-like consistency (this takes about 2–3 minutes). - Finish the dessert
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated and silky smooth. - Chill or serve
Pour the creamy lemon dessert into small bowls or glasses. Let it cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or enjoy it slightly warm if you prefer). - Optional garnish
Top with lemon zest, crushed biscuits, whipped cream, or berries before serving.
🍨 Yield:
Serves 4 small portions or 2 generous ones.
