Step 1
To prepare the lemon cream, take: lemons, eggs, sugar, butter.
Step 2
Zest the lemons and squeeze out the juice.
Step 3
Rub the zest with sugar.
Step 4
Add the eggs. Whisk together.

Pour the mixture into a saucepan. Add a piece of butter. Place over low heat.
Step 6
Warm slightly and add the lemon juice. Cook until thickened (about 3–5 minutes), stirring constantly.

Pour into jars or glasses. If the eggs have slightly curdled (although this should not happen due to the acidity in the recipe), strain the cream through a sieve or blend with a blender.
