  3. 3 Heat cream over low heat in a pot until hot, about 3 minutes. Stir in lemon zest. Add lemon juice, a little at a time, while stirring constantly. Season with vegetable bouillon granules, salt, and pepper and remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly.
  4. 4 Mix egg yolks with 2 tablespoons hot lemon cream and stir until well combined. Return sauce to the stove and stir in egg yolk mixture. Heat but do not allow to boil otherwise the egg will set. Mix in basil.
