Lemon chips
Freeze the lemons until they are semi frozen.

Drain the lemons and place them in a wide pan with edges.
Boil the sugar and water, then pour it over the tray with the lemons.
Let the lemons sit in the sugar syrup for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 60° C (140 degrees Fahrenheit). If you have a dehydrator, use that instead.
Take out the lemon slices one by one and cut the slices in half. Place them onto a baking mat and let them dehydrate until they are crisp.

Let the rice cool and then refrigerate until completely cold.
Whip the cream to soft peaks.
Blend the rice with the whipped cream.
Assembly

Put a ring mold on the plate and fill it with the rice and whipped cream.
