This recipe is No.7 in the “Healthy Everyday Meals” series.

Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

• 1 cup water (250 ml)
• 4–4½ tbsp honey
• 1 egg yolk
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 1 cup heavy cream (250 ml)
• 1/3–1/2 cup whole wheat flour (40–50 g)
• Chopped nuts (as needed)

Instructions

1. Warm the water
   Pour the water into a saucepan and gently heat it until it feels warm to the touch. Do not let it boil.
   
   
2. Add the flour
   Gradually add the whole wheat flour while whisking continuously. This helps prevent lumps and keeps the mixture smooth.
   
   
3. Cook briefly
   Place the saucepan over low heat and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until it slightly thickens. Remove from heat.
   
   
4. Let it cool slightly
   Allow the mixture to cool down a bit. Stir occasionally to maintain a smooth consistency.
   
   
5. Add the remaining ingredients
   Slowly add the honey, egg yolk, and lemon juice while mixing. Adding them gradually prevents curdling or separation.
   
   
6. Whisk until light
   Whisk the mixture for about 2 minutes until it becomes slightly airy and creamy.
   
   
7. Prepare the whipped cream
   In a separate bowl, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks.
   
   
8. Fold in the cream
   Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture. Be careful not to overmix, so the light texture is preserved.
   
   
9. Serve
   Transfer to serving bowls or glasses and sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
