Preparation Steps
1
Zest the lemons, then juice them to obtain fresh lemon juice.
2
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the powdered sugar until you get a light, fluffy and pale yellow cream.
3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the lemon juice. When it begins to simmer, slowly pour it into the egg yolk mixture while continuously whisking to prevent the eggs from curdling.
4
Return the lemon-egg mixture to the stovetop and continue stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes slightly creamy.
5
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, ensuring a creamy consistency.
6
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture. Using a spatula, take care not to deflate the cream, preserving its light and airy texture.
7
Pour the finished mixture into a dish or silicone mold and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, but the flavors will meld together even better if left to rest overnight.
8
5 minutes before serving, remove the parfait from the freezer to make it easier to slice. Dip a knife in warm water for clean slices through the parfait.
