Method
Prepare the Gelatin
- Bloom the gelatin in a small bowl by sprinkling 2 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin over ¼ cup of cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
- Gently heat the mixture in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until fully dissolved, then set aside to cool slightly.
Mix Lemon Base
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup of fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, and ½ cup of granulated sugar until the sugar dissolves completely, about 2-3 minutes.
Combine Gelatin and Lemon Mixture
- Once the gelatin has cooled to room temperature, add it to the lemon mixture and stir well.
Whip the Cream
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Fold in Cream
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture using a spatula.
Chill the Mixture
- Transfer the mixture into serving bowls or a large dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Garnish and Serve
- Garnish each serving with a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint before serving.

Notes
Ensure your heavy cream is very cold before whipping for better texture. Chill for at least 4 hours for optimal results.
