In medium bowl, whisk sugar and eggs until a creamy texture appears.

Mix in lemon juice, lemon rind and cream . Set aside.

Divide lemon custard evenly among the five ramekins or custard cups. Pour hot water into roasting pan to come half way up sides of custards.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until set.

Remove custards from pan. Allow to cool slightly. Cover each custard with plastic wrap. Chill until ready to serve.

As an option, garnish with raspberries before serving.
