Cream of Lemon, Created for King Charles III
This lemon cream dessert was created by chef Enrico Derflingher for the then Prince of Wales, now King Charles III, on one of the Shetland Islands. It was created out of necessity because of a scarcity of ingredients. The Prince liked it so much it became a favourite and he requested that the Italian chef prepare it at formal events at Kensington Palace.
