Probably one of the easiest desserts to make and it only takes 3 ingredients!
The hardest part of this recipe for me was removing the pulp and juice from the lemons. Outside of that, this recipe takes only a few minutes to put together, then just pop it in the fridge overnight and brûlée when you are ready to dive in!

Instructions
Step 1
Start by cutting 4 of your lemons in half and removing the pulp and juice. If you use a pairing knife to loosen and a spoon to scoop, it should pop out in one piece and you should be left with the lemon skin.
