Citrus Cream Cups
Serves 12 / Reader recipe contest, first place, desserts. Absolutely unique, refreshing, and surprisingly light. For a bit of added color, grate fresh orange or lime zest on top just before serving. To make a simple lemon syrup, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and the zest of one or two lemons in a saucepan; boil gently until clear and syrupy, then cool.
