Ingredients:
- 400 ml milk
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 40g sugar
- 15g cornstarch
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 100g sweetened condensed milk
- Optional for decoration: cinnamon, cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings
Preparation:
- In a saucepan, combine the milk, lemon zest, and vanilla sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is just about to boil.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, stirring continuously to avoid cooking the eggs.
- Once everything is well incorporated, allow the mixture to cool completely.
- After cooling, add the lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
- For an elegant touch, decorate your dessert with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dusting of cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings—whichever suits your taste.
