Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium lemons
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • cup sugar
  • Mint to garnish
  • Blueberries to garnish

Instructions
 

  • First, cut each lemon in half, lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the pulp (reserving the juice for later). Also make sure to keep the skins intact since they can serve as bowls for the filling later.
  • Add heavy cream, sugar, and about 1 tbsp lemon zest to a pot. Frequently stirring, bring the pot to a boil and let boil for 8-10 minutes. At this point, turn off the heat and add about 6 tbsp lemon juice. Give it one last good stir and let sit.
  • Let it cool in the pot at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Now, pour the contents through a fine mesh strainer into another bowl. Arrange the lemon skins in a container. Use a ladle or spoon to carefully pour the lemon filling into each lemon skin. If you have extra filling, you can also fill up ramekins.
  • Place them in the fridge to cool for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Garnish with some blueberries and mint and serve cold.
