Preparation Time:
5 minutes
Cooking Time:
5 minutes
Chilling Time:
40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 packet Gregg's Lemon Jelly
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 1/2 cup cream, lightly whipped

Method

Place the egg yolks in a small saucepan. Add the water and whisk until well combined.  Stir in the jelly crystals. Cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until the jelly crystals dissolve and the mixture thickens slightly.  Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and lemon rind.  Cool, then chill until the mixture has the consistency of unbeaten egg white.

Beat the egg whites until the peaks just fold over when the beater is removed.  Beat in the caster sugar.

Fold the jelly mixture into the cream.

Fold the cream mixture, gently but thoroughly, into the egg whites.

Turn the mixture into individual dishes and chill until firm.

Hints & Tips

To make a Chilled Lemon Pie, turn the mixture into a prepared 23cm crumb crust and chill until firm.
