Ingredients
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 lemons, zested, plus thin slices for serving
- 2 cups heavy cream
- Blueberry Sauce, recipe follows
- Blueberries, for garnish
Directions
Line a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin with paper muffin liners.
Whisk together egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until well combined, then add the lemon juice and zest. Pour into a heavy bottomed saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens to the consistency of gravy, 8 to 10 minutes, (it should cling to the spoon when you stop stirring). Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve placed over a glass bowl. Stir the mixture occasionally to help release some of the heat. Once cooled to room temperature, put plastic wrap directly on the surface of the lemon curd to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until firm.
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Whisk the chilled lemon curd to loosen it and fold half the cream into it to lighten. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until just blended. Divide the lemon whip between the muffin cups, smoothing the tops. Put the pan on a sheet tray, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours.
To serve, remove muffin tray from freezer and let stand 10 minutes. Serve immediately by placing thin lemon slices on a plate and inverting the lemon whip directly on top of the lemon slices (this prevents sliding on the plate). Drizzle berry sauce over the top and around the frozen lemon whip. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries and enjoy your refreshing cold treat!!!
Blueberry Sauce:
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 lemon, zested
Put the blueberries in a small saucepan with the sugar, lemon juice and zest. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves and berries begin to burst. Cool slightly, then add to a blender and puree. Strain through a fine mesh sieve over a glass bowl and chill, covered, in the refrigerator until ready to use.

The instructions were detailed and easy to follow. The dish turned out delicious! The tartness of the dish is not for everyone, but I loved it.

LOVE this recipe! It has the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Make sure you let it sit out for a bit like Claire said to get that creaminess. I have made it exactly like the recipe says and have also come up with shortcuts. I now use frozen whipped topping and actually like it better because the lemon flavor comes through more. I have also made the blueberry sauce with both fresh blueberries and frozen and have found that it doesn't really have much difference in taste. I often just make the lemon curd and eat it with fresh fruit. I was always intimidated with the thought of making lemon curd before but I couldn't believe how easy it was! I will definately be making this again and again. Thank you Claire for such a great recipe!
