Lemon Custard with Just 3 Ingredients: Light and Creamy

1. Heat the Cream and Sugar
   Place the heavy cream and sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.

2. Add the Lemon
   Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and grated zest. The acidity will naturally thicken the cream into a silky custard.

3. Pour and Chill
   Divide the mixture evenly into small ramekins or dessert glasses. Let cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until firm and creamy.

Tips:

• Serving suggestion: Add fresh berries or a sprig of mint on top for an elegant presentation.

• Make ahead: Prepare the custard the night before — it sets beautifully overnight.

• Flavor twist: Try using lime or orange juice for a different citrusy version.
