Frozen Lemon Dessert

By RoketJSquerl

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup white sugar, divided
• 2 eggs, separated
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1-2 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 1/4 cups heavy cream

Preparation

Step 1

Lightly grease an 8 inch square pan. Mix together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press most of the crumbs into the bottom of the prepared pan, reserving 2 couple tablespoons for later.

In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 2 egg yolks and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture bubbles and thickens. Stir in lemon zest. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, beat 2 egg whites to form stiff peaks; set aside. In a separate bowl, whip cream with remaining 1/2 cup sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold lemon mixture and meringue into whipped cream. Spoon mixture over graham cracker crust. Top with remaining graham cracker crumbs. Freeze until firm. Serve frozen.
