Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a double boiler, combine the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, 1/2 cup of water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and lemon zest. 🍋
- Cook: Place the double boiler over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, for approximately 15 minutes, or until thickened and creamy. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld and intensify, resulting in a rich and vibrant lemon filling. 🥄
- Add Butter: Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the butter until it is fully melted and incorporated. The butter adds a luxurious richness and silky texture to the filling, balancing out the tartness of the lemon. 🧈
- Cool: Allow the lemon cream filling to cool to room temperature before using it in your desired dessert. The filling will continue to thicken as it cools, making it easier to work with and ensuring a smooth and creamy consistency. 🌡️
- Enjoy: Use this luscious Lemon Cream Filling to fill cakes, pastries, tarts, or even spread it between layers of cookies for a refreshing lemony treat that will brighten any dessert table! 🎉
