Ingredients

• 1 cup (240 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice (approximately 4-6 lemons)
• 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
• 1 1/2 cups (225 g) fresh raspberries
• Whipped cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
4. Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the lemon-sugar mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
5. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the heavy cream until well combined.
7. Pour the lemon filling into a 9-inch pie crust or individual ramekins.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
9. Remove the Lemon Raspberry Delight from the oven and let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
10. When ready to serve, top the chilled dessert with fresh raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream (if desired).

Cooking Tips

• For a thicker, creamier texture, use 1/2 cup of heavy cream instead of 1/4 cup.
• Experiment with different types of berries, such as blackberries or blueberries, for a unique twist.
• Garnish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a fresh mint leaf for an elegant presentation.
• Serve the Lemon Raspberry Delight chilled for a refreshing and indulgent dessert experience.
