Hello friends,

I recently acquired an Instant Pot, a (fairly) intelligent electric pressure cooker, and made lemon curd in it. It was excellent, and super easy - stirred the ingredient together at the start, cooked, stirred vigorously at the end, bingo. Most of it is gone now, it was very good!

I found a lemon curd pressure cooker recipe in the same blog (which has excellent recipes, I have used a few) so if you fancy making lemon curd this way, here is the link: http://thisoldgal.com/pressure-cooker-easy-lemon-curd/

You probably saw when I posted that question in the Other Place :) I've never made a fool with citrus, but if I did my instinct would be to stew up both flesh and peel a little, before folding into aggressively-whipped cream.

My curiosity being aroused, I looked at the ingredients on a Sainsburys lemon fool this morning, and was horrified to see a list that looks like a throwback to the post-war era of industrial processed foods, including bloomin' pork ferchrissake! The gooseberry fool was much the same, and I know how to make that with much more wholesome ingredients.

Something very similar to lemon fool is "teta de monja" (aka nun's teat) which was taught to me by a Madrileno friend:

- 1 x 400g tin condensed milk
- 2 x lemons
- 1 litre plain yoghurt
- cinammon

Squeeze lemons into bowl. Add condensed milk and yoghurt. Add liberal cinammon powder. Stir slowly and smoothly with a metal spoon without whisking until all blended. Sprinkle a tad more cinammon on the top. Chill in the fridge. Serves 4-6.

(my first recipe contribution on the fool, gosh)
regards, dspp

Thanks for this recipe - I made it the other day and it was very nice - will probably adapt it by adding some strips of lemon zest and serve with some sort of biscuit....

However, I googled "teta de monja" to see if there were any other variations on the recipe - and all the results suggest that "tetas de monja" is actually a meringue type dish with almond paste (for example https://tiberisacasa.blogspot.co.uk/201 ... monja.html)

Searching for "yogurt condensed milk lemon" returned this: http://spanishfood.about.com/od/dessert ... -Limon.htm - so perhaps your recipe is really Crema de Limon.

Whatever it is, it's very nice and I#ll make it again!
