Lemon Cream Posts with Delicate Lemon Wafers
Another great little dessert from Donna Hay ~ the recipe reminds me of my old stand-by Lemon Pots of Cream recipe which I've shared before, but this one is easier to make. I used Meyer lemons, but the recipe actually calls for regular lemons, so those will work just fine.
If you like the flavor of lemon but don't care for overly sweet desserts, you may really like this one. It's creamy and decadent and I found the 3/4 serving size almost too much for me. Next time I think I may reduce each portion to 4 ounces each... when the (slightly sweetened) softly whipped cream topping is added, it's quite enough.
The Lemon Wafers add a good contrast to the Lemon Cream Pots, and they are easy to make. But if you don't feel like making them, just add any other little crisp cookie... I won't tell. :)
If you would like a copy of the recipe you can find it on my recipe blog... HERE.
Thank you for stopping by today! I'm always most appreciative of any comments you would like to leave.
Have a wonderful week, friends.

Girl...they are beautiful. I asked Mike to bring me back glass yogurt pots from Brussels that were supposed to look like your little pots...the ones he brought back were not the right ones...:(

Hi Linda, Oh that's too bad you didn't get the ones you wanted. Maybe next time?
ReplyDeleteAhem, maybe he could tuck some Falk cookware(http://www.copperpans.com/) into
his bag for me on his next trip home?!heehee.
Hope you're having a blast while he's home. ((hugs!))
They look heavenly..and soft:) And the cookies look like lovely tuiles~
ReplyDeleteMonique, thank you my friend.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are absolutely right ~ the cookies truly are nearly identical to tuilles ... same texture and crispness. :)
Yum! Where did you get those adorable pots?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Hi Cindy, They are actually little canning jars manufactured by "Weck", a German company.
ReplyDeleteIf you 'google' "Weck canning jars", you can learn more about them. Thanks for stopping by! :)
I love a not too sweet dessert Mari; and of course as I always say "lemon is my chocolate."
ReplyDeleteHi Val! Oh me too... the choc vs. lemon. Sometimes I'm really in the mood for chocolate, but usually lemon wins out. ;) Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment.
ReplyDeleteNow this is my type of dessert or treat. Just dip and savour!

I don't like really sweet things, so I bet this would be great for me. I love the delicate yellow color of them!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the info about the jars; I found them (and ordered) from
http://www.heathceramics.com
Looking forward to using them!
Do you think I could bake a custard or pot de creme in a water bath in these jars?
ReplyDeleteAnxiously awaiting mine!
