9 detailed steps, from preparation to service.
Prepare the lemons
Wash the 2 lemons. Finely graze their zest and then squeeze their juice. Measure 70 ml of juice for the lemon cream; reserve the rest for another use.
Cook the lemon heart
Break the egg in a bowl and beat it with 50 g of sugar and 70 ml of lemon juice. Pour into a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring continuously for 4 to 5 minutes, until the cream covers the spatula, without boiling.
Cool the lemon cream
Out of the heat, incorporate 35 g of diced butter and half of the zest. Pour into a bowl, press cling film directly onto the surface and let cool for 20 minutes, then place 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Whisk the Ice Base
Whisk 400 ml of very cold cream in a cold bowl until it forms a soft peak. In a second bowl, mix 220 g of sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 10 g of poppy and the remaining zest.
Mix and freeze
Incorporate a third of whipped cream into the concentrated milk to soften it, then gently rest with a spatula. Pour into a wide box, cover and freeze at least 6 hours.
Preparing the cold support
Place the large dish in the freezer for 20 minutes. Cut the 8 biscuits in half and place them flat on the cold plate in 8 shelves, two halves end to end per shelf. They will support the petals and bring crunch.
Forming the eight petals
Take the ice out for 5 to 10 minutes, just so you can work it out. With an ice cream spoon soaked in warm water and then wiped, lay 2 small jointing balls on each sponge shelf. Lightly lengthens their junction with the back of a spoon to form eight oval petals, without looking for a perfect surface.
Add the yellow heart
Place the remaining ice in the center in a small dome and table only this center of cold lemon cream. It must remain a well visible yellow heart, surrounded by eight ivory petals speckled with poppy.
Strengthen and Serve
Put the dish back in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm the assembly. Take it out 5 minutes before serving and loosen the petals with a spoon. Do not refreeze a portion that has completely melted.
Conservation. Ice base: 2 weeks in airtight box in freezer. Flower mounted: 24 hours maximum, covered without touching the decor. Serve immediately after exit.
