Hi Steemian!! Here is my entry for the Steemit Culinary Challenge 14.
Theme : Divine Lemoned Dessert
Let's start now.
What you need :
- 3 Eggs (only egg yolks)
- Sugar 150g
- Butter 150g
- A gelatin sheet
- 2 Lemons
- Vanilla ice cream
For the meringue :
- Icing sugar 30g
- 3 White eggs
The recipe :
- Put the gelatin sheet in a bowl of cold water
- Prepare some zest of lemon
- Cut the lemons in two but not in the middle, make one half bigger than the other
- Press the lemons to extract the juice and set aside
- Empty them completely then cut the bottom
- Like this they don't fall
- Put them in the freezer
- Cut the butter into pieces, set aside
- In 2 bowls separate white and yellow of the eggs, put whites in the fridge for the meringue
- Add sugar and mix until it became white
- Put the mix in a pan then add the lemon juice, the drained gelatin and zest of lemon
- Cook at low heat and add butter piece by piece, slowly
- When all is melted remove from the heat, let cool then put in the fridge
- To make the french meringue, beat the white of eggs in snow then add the icing sugar gradually put in the fridge
- I use muesli of a known brand (something with a "K") to make the bottom of the verrine
- When the lemon mix is cold fill half the glasses
- As you can see I added a little chocolate in the bottom of the large glasses
- Take off the empty lemons from the freezer and fill them with vanilla ice cream and put the "hat" on it
- In a freezer bag add the meringue and cut the corner of the bag this will serve as a socket pocket
- With this system fill the rest of the glasses
- With my cooking torch I lightly burn the meringue (sorry I can't take pictures when I do that!!)
- It's time to set the plate ;)
- With a knife I cut a long zest of green lemon
- Put it on the meringue
Absolutely brilliant presentation. I would love to see a comparison of a natural xylitol sugar (healthy, regrows tooth enamel, fights cavities, infections) that has the same sweetness of unhealthy refined sugars.

Thanks @bleujay ;) the chocolate was a last minute choice at the beginning I had planned without it. Finally it cut the acidity of lemon it was very good ^^

Love the bright yellow colour in this one. Good for the vitamin C

Yes and at this time with no sun it's better to eat a lemon for the vitamins ^^

Yes while doing this recipe I remember a dessert I really liked when I was young "citron givré" (freezing lemon). I do my own with vanilla, normally it's a lemon cream inside the frozen lemon.
Thanks for your reply ;)
