Luscious Lemon Mascarpone Cream Delight

Ingredients

- 3 medium lemons (zested and juiced)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Lemons:
- Start by washing the lemons thoroughly. Zest all three lemons using a microplane or fine grater. Be sure to only zest the yellow outer layer, avoiding the bitter white pith.
- Slice the lemons in half and juice them into a bowl. Remove any seeds that might have fallen into the juice.

2. Mix the Cream Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes.

3. Incorporate Mascarpone and Sugar:
- Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar into the beaten cream. Continue to beat on low speed until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps of cheese remaining.

4. Add the Lemon and Refrigerate:
- Gradually add the lemon zest and juice to the creamy mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together until fully incorporated.
- Transfer the creamy mixture into individual dessert glasses or a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until set to your desired consistency. The refrigeration enhances the flavors and firms up the dessert.

5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once chilled, serve your Luscious Lemon Mascarpone Cream Delight garnished with a little additional lemon zest on top for an extra pop of flavor and color.
