    How about a little refreshment in the form of a dessert? Sounds good, does it? With this lemon & buttermilk dessert in a glass, you get the body temperature certainly (*cough*) lowered by a minimum of one degree – provided, of course, it is well chilled in advance and then enjoyed directly from the fridge ;)

    This summer was pretty hot and dry in Berlin. We are living on the top floor right under the roof and temperatures were sometimes pretty awful here. On those hot days, any refreshment, no matter how small, was welcomed. Fans only moved the warm air from one corner to the other. A well-cooled dessert was more effective… at least that’s what I told myself every time I opened the fridge ;P

    Anyway. No matter if it’s hot or cold outside – a refreshing dessert with a lemony cream and lemon curd can never really hurt if we’re honest. That can be during the day or as the “grand finale” of a dinner with friends and family. So if you want to make this dessert in winter… go for it!

    As much as I like this dessert here – I think I should add that it can get borderline sweet if you’re not careful ;) Is not because of the cream or the ladyfingers. The lemon curd is the “problem” here. You might think “but all that lemon juice?!”. Well… to balance the extremely sour lemon juice you add a lot of sugar to lemon curd. That makes it quite sweet at the end. That’s why I recommend using it sparingly here. Less is more ;)

    For those who are now worried about the calories from the sugar in the lemon curd… you can make it without any sugar if you want to – xylitol works well as a replacement. This means fewer calories and less impact on your blood sugar levels… but it’s still sweet. Just saying… ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Start with the lemon curd by zesting and squeezing out the lemons – measure out 1/4 cup. Mix the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg yolks, and the egg in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl on a pot with simmering water and heat up the mixture slowly, stirring constantly. When the mix is warm, add the butter, let melt, and stir in. Continue mixing until it has thickened nicely, almost like a pudding. Remove from heat and strain through a fine sieve and collect in a clean jar. Allow it to cool completely. The lemon curd will stay fine for a minimum of 3 days in the fridge.

    2. For the buttermilk cream, mix some of the milk with the cornstarch, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add the remaining milk to a small pot and bring to a boil. As soon as the milk starts to bubble, add the cornstarch mixture and stir it in. Allow the custard to thicken and boil briefly. Remove from the heat and stir in the egg yolk. Add the buttermilk and stir in as well. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the pudding to prevent skin from forming. Let cool down completely.

    3. Whisk the completely cooled custard briefly with a hand mixer, then add the mascarpone and mix in. Place in the fridge until needed.

    4. Break the ladyfingers into small pieces, add some to the serving glasses, and top with buttermilk cream. Add some lemon curd (but not too much, otherwise the dessert will be very sweet). Repeat with more ladyfingers, buttermilk cream, and lemon curd.

    5. Whisk the heavy cream with confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Fill into a piping bag with a star tip and pipe a swirl of the whipped cream on each dessert. If you have some lemon curd leftover, you can decorate the desserts with it, as well as some Halloren chocolate pralines. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.

    1. Mit dem Lemon Curd starten und dafür die Schale der Zitronen abraspeln und die Zitronen auspressen – 60ml des Zitronensafts abmessen. Zucker, Zitronenabrieb, Zitronensaft, Eigelbe und Ei in einer hitzebeständigen Schüssel verrühren. Die Schüssel auf einen Topf mit köchelndem Wasser stellen und unter ständigem Rühren langsam erwärmen. Wenn die Mischung warm geworden ist, die Butter dazugeben, schmelzen lassen und unterrühren. Die Mischung so lange rühren, bis sie schön angedickt ist – fast wie ein Pudding. Vom Herd ziehen und durch ein feines Sieb streichen und in einem sauberen Glas auffangen. Komplett abkühlen lassen. Hält sich im Kühlschrank mindestens 3 Tage.

    2. Für die Buttermilch Creme etwas von der Milch mit der Stärke, Zucker und Vanille Extrakt verrühren, den Rest der Milch in einem Topf zum Kochen bringen. Sobald die Milch anfängt zu kochen die Stärkemischung dazugeben und unterrühren. Den Pudding andicken lassen und einmal kurz aufkochen. Vom Herd ziehen, dann das Eigelb unterrühren. Die Buttermilch dazugeben und ebenfalls unterrühren. Ein Stück Klarsichtfolie direkt auf den Pudding legen, damit sich keine Haut bildet und dann komplett abkühlen lassen.

    3. Den komplett abgekühlten Pudding mit einem Handrührgerät kurz aufschlagen, dann den Mascarpone dazugeben und alles gut verrühren. Bis zur weiteren Verwendung in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    4. Den Löffelbiskuit in kleine Stücke zerbrechen und eine erste Schicht in die 4-5 Serviergläser füllen. Etwas Buttermilch Creme und ein wenig Lemon Curd (nicht zu viel davon, sonst wird das Dessert arg süß) darauf verteilen. In einer zweiten Runde eine zweite Schicht Löffelbiskuit, Creme und Lemon Curd in die Gläser füllen.

    5. Die Sahne mit dem Puderzucker und Vanille Extrakt steif schlagen, in einen Spritzbeutel mit Sterntülle füllen jeweils einen Swirl auf die Desserts aufspritzen. Wer noch etwas Lemon Curd übrig hat, kann hier auch noch etwas darüber geben und zum Schluß mit Halloren Pralinen dekorieren. Für mindestens 1 Stunde in den Kühlschrank stellen.
