How to Make Lemon Cream Citronfromage

  1. In a medium bowl, beat 4 large egg yolks until light and pale yellow.
  2. Gradually beat in 5 tablespoons (62.5g) granulated sugar and the zest of 2 lemons until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Set aside.
  4. In a small saucepan, sprinkle 2 teaspoons (6g) unflavored powdered gelatin over 1/4 cup (60ml) cold lemon juice. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  5. Gently heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
  6. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly, stirring occasionally until it reaches a syrupy consistency (but is still liquid).
  7. In a clean, grease-free large bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
  8. Gradually add 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the cooled gelatin mixture into the egg yolk mixture until fully combined.
  10. Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  11. Spoon the mixture into 4 to 6 individual serving dishes or ramekins.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set.
  13. To serve, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and shaved chocolate or chocolate flakes.
