Instructions

How to cook it

Prep timer

10:00
  1. Set a large skillet or saute pan over medium to medium-high heat and keep the ingredients close so the cooking stays fast and even.
  2. 1. Combine the heavy cream and low-carb sweetener in a saucepan and bring slowly to a boil while stirring frequently, then let it boil for about 3 minutes before removing from heat.
  3. 2. Set aside a pinch of lemon zest for garnish, then stir the remaining zest and all the lemon juice into the hot cream; the mixture will begin to thicken.
  4. 3. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes with occasional stirring, then divide between serving glasses or dishes.
  5. 4. Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, garnished with the reserved lemon zest.
  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
