Description

Indulge in the delightful tangy sweetness of Lemon Cream Syrup with this easy-to-make recipe that’s perfect for enhancing your favorite desserts.


Ingredients

For the Lemon Cream Syrup:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lemon Cream Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine heavy cream and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to gently simmer.
  2. Reduce heat to low and stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, crepes, or desserts, or refrigerate and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For a thicker consistency, simmer a few extra minutes until the syrup coats the back of a spoon.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
