Caricias de limón (Lemon Pots): A Spanish recipe for a dessert of a lemon custard topped with meringue that's served with a range of decorations and accompaniments.
Ingredients:
4 eggs
4 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp condensed milk
4 lemons
300g butter
For the Meringue:
4 egg whites
6 tbsp sugar
To Decorate:
wafers
hazelnuts
chocolate shavings
caramel sauce
currants
mint
Method:
Squeeze the juice from the lemons.
Combine the eggs and sugar in a large bowl. Beat well until the sugar has dissolved then add the condensed milk and beat to combine. Pour in the lemon juice and beat once more to combine.
Pour the lemon cream into a saucepan and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Reduce to a simmer and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Dice the butter into a heat-proof bowl. Strain the lemon custard onto the butter and beat with a wire whisk to blend. Set aside to cool.
For the meringue, add the egg whites to a clean and dry bowl. Beat with an electric whisk until firm enough to hold their shape. Now gradually beat in the sugar a little at a time and continue beating the mixture until glossy.
Divide the lemon custard between serving glasses and top with the meringue mixture. Decorate each serving with two wafers and a toasted hazel nut. Garnish with chocolate shavings, a drizzle of caramel sauce, a few plump currants and a sprig of mint.
