Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream.
Add the powdered sugar to the bowl and whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. Avoid over-whisking to prevent the cream from turning into whipped cream.
Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding a little more powdered sugar or lemon juice as desired.
Serve the sauce immediately over fresh fruit, or refrigerate for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Stir before serving if chilled.
