Step 1

Put the sugar, butter, egg yolks, and Half & Half in a heavy, 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until it comes to a slow rolling boil. Let boil for 2 minutes, still stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Strain into a bowl and put down into a larger bowl of ice. Continue stirring until the mixture is cool. Add the extracts, Amaretto, and lemon juice and mix well. Whip the heavy cream, then fold it into the mixture. Whip the egg whites until stiff (not dry), then fold them in. 8-10 servings
