Grandma's Frozen Lemon Dessert

If you're absolutely opposed to eating raw eggs, this recipe is not for you. But it is such a yummy summertime treat, it's really worth the salmonella risk. This is what the recipe for frozen-lemonade-and-vanilla-ice-cream-mixed-together pie wants to be when it grows up. Rachel took a picture of her piece for me, so it's maybe not food magazine worthy, but it looks yummy.

Frozen Lemon Dessert

1/2 c Lemon Juice
1 c Whipped Cream
3 Eggs, separated
1/8 t Salt
Zest From One Lemon
1/2 c Sugar
1 box crushed Vanilla Wafers

Whip egg whites and cream in separate bowls. Then whip egg yolks until lemon color. Add sugar and beat well. Add juice, zest and salt and mix well. Fold in whipped cream. Fold in egg whites carefully. Coat bottom of pan with vanilla wafer crumbs. Pour egg mixture on top. Cover with more vanilla wafer crumbs. Freeze until firm. Cut in squares and serve.

This is great served with a raspberry sauce and a couple fresh
raspberries.
