The Finishing Touch — A Taste of Sunshine

Now comes the magic — whip the cream to soft peaks, sweeten if needed, and gently fold it into the cooled lemon custard. The result? A filling so light, bright, and velvety that it feels like pure sunshine.

Step 3 — Assemble Your Pastries
Slice each baked puff in half horizontally. Spoon or pipe the lemon cream onto the bottom half, then crown it with the top layer.

Serving Tips:
✨ Serve slightly warm for a melt-in-the-mouth texture, or at room temperature for a classic, delicate bite.
🍋 Dust with powdered sugar, a hint of lemon zest, or add a twist of lemon peel for elegance.
🍓 Pair with fresh berries, a drizzle of raspberry sauce, or a scoop of lemon sorbet for contrast.

Pro Tips & Twists:

• Keep pastry cold before baking for flakier layers.

• Avoid the white pith when zesting — it’s bitter.

• Stir custard constantly for that perfectly smooth finish.

• Try lime or orange zest for a creative variation, or add a hint of vanilla for warmth.

With every bite, these pastries deliver the essence of sunshine and sweetness — simple ingredients turned into something truly delightful.
