method

1. Put the grated lemon rind into a large, deep bowl. Pour in the fresh cream, stir and leave to chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

2. Combine the lemon juice with the wine.

3. Whip the fresh cream until softly stiff. Gradually whisk in the wine until the mixture holds its shape. Do not overwhip as the mixture may curdle.

4. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg white until softly stiff, add the sifted sugar and whisk again. Fold evenly into the fresh cream.

5. Divide the mixture between six stemmed glasses. Chill for up to 1 hour. Serve with sponge fingers.
