Ingredients

  • 1 citronmåne (Danish lemon cake) from the supermarket - or bake it yourself
  • 100 g mascarpone
  • 100 ml whipping cream (38% fat)
  • 2 tbsp icing sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 lemon, finely grated zest only
  • Unsalted pistachios - finely chopped, for the top

Instructions

  • Cut the citronmåne into 6 equal pieces, - remembering to remove the paper first.
    *If you bake the citronmåne yourself, it will typically be round, - in which case cut it into 8 equal pieces.
  • Put the mascarpone, cream, icing sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice in a bowl and whisk briefly until combined.
    *The lemon makes the cream thicken very quickly, - so whisk on a low speed so you don't overwhip it. If the cream is overwhipped it will turn grainy.
  • Transfer the mascarpone cream to a piping bag, fitted with a star nozzle if you like, - and pipe the cream onto the wide end of each piece.
    *You can also simply spoon the cream on with a tablespoon.
  • Sprinkle with finely chopped pistachios before serving.
