Nancy’s Mom (Doris Spanfelner)
Her Frozen Lemon Dessert

Beat 3 egg yolks in top of a double boiler.
Add ¼ cup lemon juice and a little rind,
And 1 cup sugar minus 1 tablespoon.
Cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
Let mixture cool. Whip 1 cup cream in
a small deep bowl. Beat 3 egg whites
plus 1 Tablespoon sugar.
Fold whipped cream into the lemon
mixture. Fold in egg whites. Butter
8 inch square pan, sprinkle with vanilla
Wafer crumbs, and then add mixture and
sprinkle on top a few more crumbs.

Freeze

When ready to serve take out of freezer
A little while so you can cut and serve.
This may be made ahead of time.
Nancy used Graham Cracker crumbs instead
of Vanilla Wafer crumbs.
This is a very refreshing dessert!
