Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the double cream, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently over low heat until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3 minutes.
  2. Increase heat to medium and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the mixture bubbles lightly around the edges.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in chopped white chocolate until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Add lemon juice and zest, whisking until combined and the mixture is a pale yellow.
  5. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before carefully pouring into serving glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set, which should have a soft jiggle in the center.
