🥘 Ingredients

1 pint of cream, 2 dozen sweet almonds, 3 glasses of sherry, the rind and juice of 2 lemons, sugar to taste.

👨‍🍳 Method

Blanch and chop the almonds, and put them into a jug with the cream; in another jug put the sherry, lemon-rind, strained juice, and sufficient pounded sugar to sweeten the whole nicely. Pour rapidly from one jug to the other till the mixture is well frothed; then, pour it into jelly-glasses, omitting the lemon-rind. This is a very cool and delicious sweet for summer, and may be made less rich by omitting the almonds and substituting orange or raisin wine for the sherry.

A charming trip down culinary memory lane

I tried the Lemon Creams this week, eager to beat the heat with a vintage refresher. I found the process delightfully simple, a swift dance between two jugs, cream and almonds in one, sherry and lemon in the other. The surprise came from the almonds—blanched, chopped, and folded into the cream, they added a subtle nuttiness that balanced the tangy lemon and sweet sherry beautifully. This is a perfect weeknight treat for those seeking a cool respite from the summer heat. The recipe's flexibility is a bonus—substitute orange wine for sherry, or raisin wine for a non-alcoholic version. I ended up with a frothy, chilled dessert that was as satisfying as it was refreshing. The Lemon Creams were a hit with my family, and I plan to make them again, perhaps with a splash of orange liqueur for an extra zing. The glasses were empty in minutes, a clear sign of success.
