Yield 4 - 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 eggs, separated
1/2 cup sugar
Juice and grated peel of 2 lemons
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup toasted, slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until lemon-colored. Add the lemon juice and peel, then whisk over low heat until thick.
  • Meanwhile, dissolve the gelatin in one-half cup warm water.
  • Whip the egg whites until stiff. Whip the cream.
  • Add the gelatin to the lemon mixture and cool. Fold in the egg whites. Reserve about one-quarter cup of cream for the top of the souffle. Fold the remaining cream into the lemon mixture and pour into a two-quart souffle dish. Cover with remaining cream and chill until set, preferably overnight.
  • Just before serving, sprinkle with the almonds.
