Serving tips:
Step 12
Lemon: Use a lemon zester to obtain nice thin strings of lemon zest. Reserve 2/3 to decorate. Chop remaining 1/3 finely.
Step 13
Whipped cream: Pour 1 cup of 35% cream into cooled smallest bowl of mixer. Whip at highest speed until thickened. (Because this is a very small quantity, it helps to scrape the cream from the edges of the bowl into center a few times to ensure even consistency. Unless you have a very steady hand, do not try this while the mixer is on. Add a little vanilla and whip a little more. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until required.
Step 14
Nuts: Toast slivered almonds by placing in a shallow baking pan in a pre-heated oven (350F) until golden and crisp. Takes just a few minutes so keep close watch.
