Limoncello Cream with Thermomix



Would you like to prepare a very good home-made limoncello cream? One of those secret recipes to serve at the end of the meal to shock your guests? Here you are many recipes you can try.

As you may know the limoncello ingredients are lemons, alcohol and sugar. In this recipe we add milk that gives this liqueur a certain thickness and its typical colour.

At the end of the meal this is the icing on the cake of a respectful dinner. After tempting your guests with all the Thermomix dishes you prepared you may conclude the meal with this liqueur or "coffee-killer" as you prefer, an home-made after meal drink.

It's a fantastic gift idea too that you can prepare taking your own time.

All my friends who have contributed to this recipe wrote they keep the limoncello liqueur in the freezer as I also do. I love it because I prefer sweet liqueur and I leave all the bitters to my husband.

I've received many recipes for this liqueur and I've decided to suggest you some of them so that you can choose the one you prefer and let me know what you think.

If you want to prepare other liqueur with Thermomix try the Coffee Liqueur or the Chocolate Liqueur.

Or if you adore lemon and all its uses, try the Lemon Custard Cake, Lemon Cake, Philadelphia Lemon Cheesecake, Strawberry Tart with Lemon Custard, Lemon Sorbet or the Sweet Bomboloni with Limoncello.

Recipe 4


This recipe has been sent by Francesca Tronci from Cagliari who uses TM21. Francesca has written: "I can't remember where I found it but I can assure you it is a fantastic liqueur recipe. I always keep it in the freezer because we like it when it's frozen! You can also use it to make some desserts. Enjoy it!"


Ingredients


- 500 ml Ethyl Alcohol (that one ready to make into liqueurs)
- 4 Lemons
- 850 g Sugar
- 1250 ml UHT Semi-Skimmed Milk
- 2 Sp Corn Flour


How to prepare the Limoncello Cream


Cut the lemon zest (yellow part only) into pieces and let soak in alcohol until alcohol becomes yellow.

Pour milk, sugar and corn flour in the bowl. 20 Sec. Speed 4.

Let boil. 10-11 Min. Temp. between 100°C and Varoma Speed 3.

Turn off Thermomix, remove it from the base and let cool stirring very well.

Add alcohol, mix well and pour into bottle.


Francesca's advice


Change the lemons quantity according to your personal taste. If you want a stronger aroma, add more lemons and vice versa.


My advice


The real trick for a good limoncello, or limoncello cream, is in the lemons. The more perfumed they are the more aromatic the infusion will be. The important thing is they shouldn't be treated, so that toxic substances won't remain in the alcohol. ;-)
