This is a no-bake soufflé set with gelatine that makes an excellent Easter dessert.

Ingredients:

juice of 3 lemons
finely-grated zest of 3 lemons
75g caster sugar
300g cream cheese (or you can use my home-made cream cheese recipe to prepare your own)
11g sachet of gelatine
200ml crème fraîche
300ml evaporated milk
lemon zest, dipped in caster sugar, to garnish

Method:

Take six ramekins and wrap baking parchment around them so that you have a collar extending 5cm above the rim of the ramekins. Secure these in place with string.

In a bowl, whisk the lemon zest and lemon juice with the caster sugar and soft cheese until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Mix the gelatine with 4 tbsp cold water. Set aside to stand for 5 minutes until spongy. Heat this over a pan of simmering water until the gelatine has dissolved then whisk this mixture into the soft cheese along with the crème fraîche. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour, or until almost set.

Heat the evaporated milk in a bain-marie (double boiler) set over a pan of gently-simmering water. Whisk this for 10 minutes until frothy then fold into the lemon mix before spooning into the ramekins, filling them 3cm above the rim (ie into the collar). Carefully transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.

When ready to serve, carefully remove the collar and sooth the top and sides with a warmed, damp, knife. Garnish with the sugared lemon zest and serve.
