Method
- 1
Put the lemon zest, lemon juice, wine, brandy and sugar in a bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then leave to soak for 1 hour.
60 min - 2
Pour the cream into a large cold bowl. Strain in the wine mixture, pressing the zest to get all the flavour out.
- 3
Whisk by hand or with an electric whisk, slowly, until the cream holds soft peaks that just hold their shape. Stop as soon as it thickens, as it goes grainy quickly.
3 min - 4
Spoon into 6 small glasses or cups. Chill for at least 2 hours, until softly set.
120 min - 5
Top each with a fresh raspberry and serve cold.
