Sicilian Lemon Cream
  1. Put the lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar into a medium saucepan.

  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved. You should not feel any remaining grittiness. Set the pan aside.

  3. In a new saucepan heat the cream and mascarpone over medium heat, stirring to melt the mascarpone. Bring it just barely to a simmer, do not boil!

  4. Remove the pan from the heat, and whisk in the lemon mixture. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and the pour into 4-6 small bowls or glasses.

  5. Chill the lemon cream until firm. This will take about 8 hours, and you can make them the day ahead and chill them overnight. The lemon cream will last 3 days, refrigerated.
