Lemon Cream

Beat well the yolks of two eggs, add to them one pint of thick cream, one-fourth pound of powdered sugar, and the thin rind of a lemon; turn all into a saucepan, boil up once, remove from the fire, and stir until cold. Squeeze the juice of a lemon onto a dish, pour over the cream, and serve.
