Put the milk in a suitable pot with 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon stick and the lemon skin (not the white part that gives a bitter taste).
1 cup sugar
Skin of 1 lemon
1 cinnamon stick
2 egg whites
Put the milk in a suitable pot with 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon stick and the lemon skin (not the white part that gives a bitter taste).
Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes in order to transfer the flavors of cinnamon and lemon into the milk. Remove from heat and let cool until you can safetly place in freezer. Remove evry 15 minutes and stir again for a total of 45 minutes (stir 3 times).
When you see that the preparation of flavored milk has thickened and is quite cold.
During the last fifteen minutes make a meringue placing the 2 egg whites in a mixing bowl with the remaining sugar (1/2 cup) and whipping to a froth with a mixer or by hand if you truly want to go old school.
Add the meringue to the milk mixture, slowly and softly. Return to the freezer for 1 hour. You will find a product like ice cream ready to serve.
Serve in martini glasses sprinkled with cinnamon and/or small berries such as blueberries, black berries, etc.
ADDITIONAL SERVING OPTIONS
Before serving I like to add a small amount of liquor and mix to the consistancy of mouse beforer serving. Then I serve with a sprinkle of chopped caramel almonds. Top with raspberries or strawberries.
For a touch of class toss on some edible gold powder (23 carats). It is fashionable and not too expensive. Gold powder is available online for 15 dollars and goes a long way.
Sprinkle a little gold and I promise that you will impress your guests!
The interesting thing about this dessert is that it is versatile. If sugar is replaced by an all natural sweetener, such as stevia, diabetics concerns can be dismissed. If you prepare it with products that have the symbol suitable for coeliacs, then they too can enjoy it.
Good luck !
