In a saucepan, combine the milk, lemon zest, and vanilla sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is just about to boil.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, stirring continuously to avoid cooking the eggs.
Once everything is well incorporated, allow the mixture to cool completely.
After cooling, add the lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
For an elegant touch, decorate your dessert with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dusting of cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings—whichever suits your taste.
Transfer the dessert to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set. This helps the flavors meld together and gives the dessert a perfect texture.
