Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 ml Orange juice
- 50 ml Lemon juice
- 100 g Sugar
- 300 ml Double cream
- 1 whole Zest of an orange
- 1 whole Zest of a lemon
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pour the orange juice, lemon juice, and sugar into a medium saucepan and heat gently over low-to-medium heat.
Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely, taking care not to boil it.
Once the sugar has dissolved, turn up the heat slightly and let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to concentrate.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the double cream until slightly thickened but not fully whipped.
Gradually pour the citrus mixture into the cream, whisking gently to combine until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the zest of the orange and lemon to add an extra layer of tangy flavor.
Divide the mixture evenly among four small serving pots, ramekins, or glasses.
Refrigerate the pots for at least 2 hours to set completely.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves (if desired) for a pop of color and aroma.
