Step 1: Whip the Cream
- Chill Your Bowl: For best results, place your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 10 minutes before whipping the cream. This helps the cream whip up faster and fluffier.
- Add Heavy Cream: In the chilled bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream.
- Whip Until Stiff Peaks: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 2–3 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, as it can turn into butter!
Step 2: Prepare the Lemon Mixture
- Combine Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture using a spatula. Start with a small portion of whipped cream to lighten the lemon mixture, then gradually fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully combined. Be gentle to maintain the airy texture.
Step 3: Serve
- Chill or Serve Immediately: You can either serve the lemon cream immediately or transfer it to individual dessert cups or a large bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let it set slightly.
- Garnish: Just before serving, add your desired garnishes. You can top with lemon slices, fresh berries, mint leaves, or sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs for added texture.
- Enjoy!: Serve chilled and enjoy this light, creamy lemon dessert that is sure to brighten your day!
