Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Egg, egg yolk, fresh

  • 40 g Sugar, white

  • 1 dl Alcohol, Wine, White

Steps

  1. Wash the lemon thoroughly with hot water and dry it completely. Then grate the zest, cut the lemon in half, and squeeze the juice from one half (store the other half).

  2. Prepare a water bath. Place a larger pot with water on the stove. There should be enough water so that it reaches 2 to 3 cm high in the metal bowl that you hang over the pot. Heat the water in the pot strongly, but it should not boil!

  3. In the metal bowl, add the egg yolks and sugar, and whisk everything together until frothy. While continuously whisking, slowly pour in the wine and add the grated lemon zest.

  4. Hang the metal bowl over the pot with hot water and continue whisking with a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture becomes frothy (about 5 minutes). At the end, add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice to the frothy mixture.

  5. Pour the cream into beautiful glasses and serve immediately.
