Method

For the lemon sauce

Combine the sugar and ½ cup of water in a broad non-stick pan and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Combine the cornflour and 2 tbsp of water in a small bowl and mix well till the cornflour dissolves completely. Add it to the pan, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes or till the sauce thickens to a coating consistency, while stirring continuously.
Remove from the flame, add the butter and mix well.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, add the lemon juice, lemon rind, lemon essence and lemon yellow colour and mix well. Keep aside.

How to proceed

Combine the vanilla ice-cream, beaten whipped cream, lemon essence and lemon rind in a deep bowl and fold gently.
Fill the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
Pour 2 tbsp of the lemon sauce into a stemmed glass and pipe out ¼ of the ice-cream-whipped cream mixture over it.
Repeat step 3 to make 3 more glasses and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Serve chilled garnished with mint sprigs.
