How to Make It
[Step 1]: Place the cream cheese in a bowl, add the sugar and lemon juice, and mix well until smooth.
[Step 2]: Lightly moisten the rice paper with water and line a small heat-resistant dish or cocotte with it.
[Step 3]: Spread the cream from Step 1 over the layer from Step 2.
[Step 4]: Bake in a 180-degree oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
[Step 5]: Top with a slice of lemon to finish, and it’s ready to serve.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
The reason the wrappers become soggy is due to the moisture content of the rice paper and the cooking time.If you soak it in water for too long, it will tear easily, and if you don’t cook it long enough, it won’t turn out crispy. To fix this, just “quickly dip” the rice paper in water, and wipe off any excess moisture with a paper towel before cooking—it’ll turn out surprisingly crispy.
A Quick Tip for Making It Taste Great
The trick is to cook the rice paper until it turns a deep brown. Enjoying that fresh-from-the-pan crispiness is a privilege you can only experience at home, so be sure to eat it right away.
In Closing
Take a moment to refresh yourself with this invigorating lemon scent amidst your busy days. Why not add any leftover lemon to some sparkling water and enjoy it with your afternoon tea? May your moments of rest be even more wonderful.
