Heat the egg, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook at 85°C without stopping stirring. Remove from the heat and add the gelatine, previously wrung out and softened in cold water. Set aside. Whip the cold liquid cream with an electric mixer and add the previous preparation when it has cooled. Pour into the Silikomart Paradis mould and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
