Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 380 g 13.4 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 500 ml 16.7 fl oz heavy cream
  • 60 g 2.1 oz chocolate, chopped
  • 60 g 2.1 oz peanuts, chopped

Method
 

  1. Whip the cream – In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  2. Combine ingredients – Gently fold in the condensed milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add texture – Stir in the chopped chocolate and peanuts for extra crunch.
  4. Chill – Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend and the texture to set.
  5. Serve and enjoy – Garnish with additional chocolate shavings, crushed peanuts, or extra lemon zest before serving.

Notes

  • For a stronger lemon flavor, increase the lemon zest or add a little extra juice.
  • Swap peanuts for almonds or hazelnuts for a different flavor.
  • To make it dairy-free, use coconut cream and condensed coconut milk instead.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for a firmer, ice-cream-like texture.
