Notes: This is a really simple easy recipe that makes a lemon custard dessert that has a creme brulee like texture. It takes only 10 minutes to make, and it has gelled every time for me, without any issues. Can be made ahead of time. The step that takes the longest is making lemon boats to serve them in. Serving in the lemon peel does give it a wow factor. I have made this both with sugar and using a sugar substitute and it tastes exactly the same.
