    So quick that I easily whipped it up between the main course and pudding! I added some extra lemon to make it a bit more tangy. Only need a small amount as it's quite rich. I served it with blueberries and shortbread.

    Lovely. Made the fresh fruit salad version which was a superb contrast for the sweetness of the lemon cream.

    Very quick and easy to make. Very rich though so you won't need much per serving. My guests loved it but struggled with the amount I served up to each of them.

    Nice and quick dessert. Put 2 puts of whipping cream and 1 part lemon yogurt. As everyone suggested served with raspberries and shortbreads. It looks lovely and relaxing. Will experiment with different yogurts next time.

    Made for a dinner party. Easy to make. Added more lemon. Put into painted teacups instead of glasses for fun. Tastes yummy.

    Simple to make. Doubled the amount of lemon in it though and served in martini glasses with almond thins and raspberrys and blueberrys. Used 300ml of double cream rather than whipping cream. Would make again.

    I'm looking forward to making this! I am planning on smashing up some ginger nut biscuits and sprinkling a generous handful over the top at the last minute. Will let you know how I get on!...
