Yield Makes 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon water
1 (1/4-ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 cup sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
7 large egg whites
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Place 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over and let soften, about 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and sugar. Place over low heat and cook, stirring, until gelatin has dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest. Place over prepared ice-water bath until chilled and syrupy.
  • Place egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixture fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. With machine running, add lemon-gelatin mixture and whisk just until incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl of an electric mixture with a clean whisk attachment, whisk heavy cream until thick; fold into lemon-egg white mixture.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl or individual serving dishes and chill for 3 hours before serving.
