  • Cut the lemons in half and scoop out the pulp with a spoon.
  • Mix the cream and sugar, then add the zest of 1 lemon.
  • Bring the cream, sugar, and zest to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the mixture from boiling over. Remove from heat once bubbles appear.

  • Pour the mixture into the lemons, cut in half.
