3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 large lemons)
1 cup granular sugar substitute
1/2 stick unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vodka
1 tablespoon lemon zest, grated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
1. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and egg yolks until
combined. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook lemon
juice, sugar substitute, butter, vodka and lemon zest
until mixture starts to boil. Gradually whisk lemon
mixture into eggs. Return this mixture into saucepan
and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly over medium
heat until mixture thickens (do not boil). Remove from
heat and stir in vanilla. Transfer to a large bowl, cover
with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for one hour,
until mixture is cold.
3. In a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed,
beat cream until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. In
two additions, fold whipped cream into lemon custard
until just-combined. Transfer to individual dessert
dishes, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 to 2 hours
(no longer).
A small amount of vodka gives this sparkling citrus dessert a
softer texture when frozen. It can be omitted.
