A Bright and Tangy Dessert Base

This Lemon Peel Custard recipe incorporates lemon peel powder made from oven-dried lemon peels for an intensely citrusy flavor. Turmeric adds a lovely color and an earthy taste, while vanilla extract gives the custard a warm, comforting aroma. Use this custard as a delightful filling for cakes and pies, or as a base for ice cream and other chilled desserts.

Preparation:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C.

• Carefully remove the yellow part of the lemon peels using a knife.

• Spread the lemon peels on a baking tray and dry in the oven for about 20 minutes. Let them cool.

• Once cooled, transfer the dried lemon peels to a blender or food processor and grind into a fine powder.

• Store the lemon peel powder for use in teas, detox water, and desserts. Enjoy the zesty flavor it adds to your creations!

• In a saucepan, combine the flour, sugar, milk, starch, turmeric, and lemon peel powder. Mix well.

• Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.

• Add the butter and vanilla extract to the custard and continue stirring until the butter is completely melted.

• Remove the saucepan from heat and let the custard cool before using in your preferred dessert.

• Enjoy this Lemon Peel Custard in cakes, pies, ice cream, or even on its own!
