Method

  1. Mix the lemon juice, most of the zest and the limoncello together. Pour the cream into a large bowl and softly whip with the sugar. Drizzle in the lemon mixture and whisk until incorporated. Divide between 6 small glasses and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  2. Just before serving, put 6 biscuits in a plastic bag. Crush with a rolling pin and sprinkle over each dessert with a little lemon zest. If you like, serve each with a biscuit.

Getting it perfect

It's very important not to over-whip the cream so whisk it until it's just starting to thicken then add the lemon mixture. Once you've whisked it again it will be at the perfect consistency.

    Really easy, and very tasty. My Italian uncle who was a chef loved it. I followed the method but found that it took a long time for the cream and liquids to thicken up and was also not sure at what point to stop. But it turned out great.

    Very easy. Very tasty. I took a risk and doubled up the recipe and although it took a while to thicken it worked perfectly.
