I normally share my cooking with friends and family. Today – on my birthday – I am indulging myself. I prepared a delicious dessert – lemon custard with strawberries and lots of pistachios. I’m sharing my recipe and hope you all would enjoy too.
Ingredients:
Preparing custard:
2 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup sugar
Pinch of sea salt
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
Preparing strawberry topping:
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1-2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon pistachios, sliced
Method:
Preparing custard:
Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat, add heavy cream, sugar, lemon zest, sea salt, and bring to boil. Reduce heat, stirring rapidly for about 5-10 minutes until sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens. Turn off the heat and add lemon juice. Mix well, then let the custard mixture cools completely. Then discard the zest and transfer the custard mixture into a serving dish. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, until the mixture sets.
Preparing Strawberry topping:
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine strawberries slices and sugar. Before serving, top lemon custard with strawberries and pistachios.
