Citronfromage

Citronfromage is a creamy Danish lemon-based dessert. Although the name is derived from the French words for lemon and cheese, traditional and modern versions have never employed cheese, and citronfromage has more in common with a rich Italian pannacotta or a tangy French lemon mousse. It consists of eggs, sugar, cream, gelatin, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beaten egg whites and whipped cream are incorporated in the end, giving the dish its recognizable soft texture and a creamy consistency. Because it is usually associated with the winter season, citronfromage is typically refrigerated and served cold, while the top is traditionally garnished with whipped cream.
