Cold lemon souffle (m_c-tx)

12 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
5 Eggs separated
1¼ cup Sugar
2 cups Whipping cream
3 larges Lemons (2/3 c. juice)
2 Envelopes unflavored gelatin
⅛ teaspoon Cream of tartar
2 cups Fresh berries (optional)

Directions

Beat together egg yolks and sugar. Grate rinds of lemons (I don't use this) and squeeze out juice, measuring out ⅔ cups lemon juice. Add rind to the egg yolks, then gradually add the ⅔ cups lemon juice, beating all the while. (This "cooks" the egg yolk.) Soften the gelatin in ½ cup of hot water and beat until it is dissolved. Allow to cool slightly. Whip the cream lightly and stir into lemon mixture; then stir in gelatin and continue stirring until mixture begins to thicken. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff but not dry; fold into lemon mixture. Spoon souffle into dish and chill in refrigerator until completely set (about two hours). Serve with berries if desired. 12 servings.
