Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 150g ginger snaps

• zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 1 leaf fine-leaf gelatine
• 150ml double cream
• a few drops of Taste the Difference Sicilian lemon extract (optional)
• 2 tbsp lemon curd

Method

1. Whiz the ginger snaps into crumbs. Melt the butter in a pan, add the crumbs and stir well to combine. Spoon into 6 ramekins; chill.
2. Whisk together the egg yolks (reserve the whites), the caster sugar and the lemon zest and juice. Soak the gelatine leaf in cold water for 5 minutes.

4. Stir in a few drops of Taste the Difference Sicilian lemon extract, if using.
5. Add the cream mixture to the yolk mixture and whisk until thick but not stiff.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk the reserved egg whites until stiff, then fold these into the cream mixture until combined. Spoon over the chilled biscuit base and level the tops. Chill for at least 2 hours.
7. Stir 1 teaspoon of just-boiled water into the lemon curd and drizzle over the lemon and ginger pots before serving.
