Lovely Lemon Charlotte Recipe

14-16 sponge (lady) fingers
Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon

10 ml/2 tsp gin (optional)
410 g/1 large can of custard

Method:

Halve the sponge fingers. Mix half the lemon juice with the gin, if using, and brush over the sponge finger halves. Arrange the halved sponge fingers around the edges of four ramekins (custard cups). Mix the lemon rind and remaining juice into the custard. Spoon into the sponge-lined ramekins. If you have any lemony sponge fingers remaining, chop them and sprinkle on the top. Chill until ready to serve.
