Ingredient Amount Calories
Lemon 130g 38kcal
Egg raw whole 200g 286kcal
Cream heavy whipping 480g 1632kcal

Recipe Instructions:

4 eggs, separated
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 lemons, zested and juiced
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup water
2 cups heavy cream

Beat the egg yolks until light. Add sugar little by little, beating well after each addition. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice.
Soften the gelatin in 1/4 cup of cold water. Once it has softened, dissolve it over very low heat until it melts. Add the melted gelatin to the egg mixture, blending thoroughly. Chill until the mixture begins to thicken.
Beat the egg whites to form stiff peaks.
Beat the heavy cream to form peaks.
Fold both the egg whites and whipped cream gently into the gelatin egg yolk mixture. Pour into a pretty serving dish and chill until set.
I serve plain or with fresh berries. Helene used to add additional whipped cream on top which was truly decadent.
