Lemon fondant is a sweet and sour dessert that melts in your mouth. It is made by mixing sugar, flour, eggs, lemon and butter, then baked until it forms a golden crust and a melty texture inside. Lemon fudge can be served hot or cold, on its own or with ice cream or whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 130g sugar

- 1 packet of baking powder
- 100 ml lemon juice, I squeezed 2 large lemons
- The zest of a lemon
- 1 pinch of salt
- Lemons must be organic or untreated!
Preparation
- First of all, preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
- Start by separating the whites from the yolks, put the sugar on the egg yolks and blanch them with an electric whisk, or in a food processor, then
add the melted butter, continue beating, then add the lemon juice and the zest and beat the mixture, We will now mix the yeast with the flour and add this mixture by sifting it to the previous one, still beating with a whisk, set aside. - Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt, and delicately incorporate them into the mixture in small quantities to avoid breaking the whipped egg whites, when the batter is well incorporated, pour into the lined springform tin and cook for 20 25 minutes away.
