- 2 teaspoons (4 grams) lemon zest
Instructions
-
Prepare the Cream:
Place the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer for about a minute until it becomes foamy. -
Add Flavors:
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue beating for several minutes until the cream forms stiff peaks.
Notes
- Cream Texture: It’s important to thicken the cream by beating it for about a minute before adding the lemon juice to prevent curdling.
- Substitute: If you prefer, you can swap the lemon juice and zest for 1 ½ teaspoons of pure lemon extract.
- Storage: Store the whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for several days, but you may need to re-whip it as the cream can separate over time.
