Preparation Steps
1. Prepare the Ingredients
Squeeze the lemon to obtain 50 ml of juice and finely grate the zest of an untreated lemon (reserve a small amount for decoration if desired). Place the single cream and mascarpone in the refrigerator until ready to use to ensure a firm consistency.
2. Whip the Cream
In a large, chilled bowl, combine the single cream and mascarpone. Start whisking with an electric mixer at medium speed, then gradually increase the speed. When the mixture begins to thicken, gradually add the icing sugar and continue whisking until you get stiff peaks (about 2-3 minutes). Be careful not to overbeat, as this will cause the cream to become grainy.
