Steps:
- Grate the zest of the lemons, then juice them. Place the zest in a bain-marie or double boiler. Pour the juice through a strainer into the bain-marie, add the sugar, then stir to combine. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and the additional yolk with a fork. Gently heat the butter, sugar and lemon mix in the bain-marie or double boiler until the butter has just melted then add the beaten eggs.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring with a silicone spatula until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. A line drawn with a finger through the mixture on the spatula should remain visible for several seconds.
- Pour the lemon curd into a storage container and leave to cool in the refrigerator. Extra lemon curd can be served with berries, over yogurt, or on biscuits.
- Pour the cream into a small saucepan, then add the agar agar. Mix with a hand whisk and bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat. Pour the warm cream into a bowl, add the yogurt, and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix half the measured lemon curd with one-third of the cream and yogurt mixture.
- Pour a layer of the plain cream and yogurt mixture into the base of each ice-pop bar mold, followed by a layer of the lemon curd mixture. Continue alternating the two mixtures until the molds are almost filled. Ripple the remaining lemon curd through the surface of each ice pop. Insert a wooden ice-pop stick into each mold.
- Transfer the ice-pop molds to the freezer and chill for 6 hours or until frozen. To unmold, dip one ice-pop mold at a time into boiling water for 20 seconds, then remove the ice pop from the mold by gently pulling on the stick. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right lemons. Meyer lemons are ideal for this dessert because they are sweeter and less acidic than other varieties. If you can't find Meyer lemons, you can use regular lemons, but you may need to add more sugar to taste.
- Don't overcook the eggs. The eggs should be cooked until they are thickened and slightly curdled, but not scrambled. If you overcook the eggs, they will become tough and rubbery.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly before freezing. This will help to prevent the dessert from becoming icy.
- Serve the dessert immediately after freezing. This dessert is best enjoyed when it is still frozen, but it can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Lemon freeze dessert is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that will surely impress your friends and family.
