The perfect summer SCD recipe – Strawberry Lemonade Cream Pie.
This uses rich and creamy lemon curd, combined with whipped cream yogurt. Yogurt can be made with whipping cream, the same as it’s made with milk. You’ll probably want to save it for an occasional treat, but it is pretty awesome for dessert making or just for a topping.
