When life gives you lemons… ! So really everyone knows the saying. We have not lemonade, but a damn tasty dessert mixed from it!
Spring fresh it also comes to you on the table. Much too sour, you may think now – don’t worry, the cream is perfectly rounded and you will fall in love very quickly! You only need a few ingredients and, if you use ready-made lemon curd and meringue, you’ll have a 20-minute rendezvous with your Thermomix®.
And in no time at all, you’ll be enchanting your loved ones with this sun-drenched treat. But make sure that the lemons are not treated, because the peel is also used. We’d better skip counting calories today, because what’s piling up so deliciously on the tea spoon is a creation of butter, curd cheese and cream.
Your guests are sure to enjoy indulging in this lemon layered dessert, as it presents in an utterly tempting way with crumbled meringue as the “icing on the cake” between the layers.
And if life doesn’t give you lemons, but strawberries? Then of course you make our strawberry layered dessert! This and other great desserts you will find with us. For all citrus fans, we recommend our orange tiramisu. Did you know that you can also eat Thermomix® rice pudding out of the jar? We highly recommend our Thermomix® crème brûlée.
