Cold Lemon Souffle

Courses: Dessert
Serves: 12 people

Recipe Ingredients

5   Eggs separated
1 1/4 cups 247g / 8.7ozSugar
2 cups 474mlWhipping cream
3 cups 711mlLemons - (2/3 c. Juice) (large)
2   Unflavored - gelatin
1/8 teaspoon 0.6mlCream of tartar
2 cups 474mlFresh berries - (optional)

Recipe Instructions

Beat together egg yolks and sugar. Grate rinds of lemons (I don't use this) and squeeze out juice, measuring out 2/3 cups lemon juice.

Add rind to the egg yolks, then gradually add the 2/3 cups lemon juice, beating all the while. (This "cooks" the egg yolk.) Soften the gelatin in 1/2 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 soufflee into dish and chill in refrigerator until completely set (about two hours).

Serve with berries if desired. 12 servings.
