Method

Whisk the condensed milk and cream together until thick and very light; 4 or 5 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and zest and whip for a few seconds only as the mixture will thicken very quickly.
Spoon the lemon cream into ramekins, or a large trifle bowl and then chill for at least an hour, or overnight.
To serve, muddle the mint leaves with the sugar and lemon juice and sprinkle a little onto the lemon cream.
