  7. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy and has thickened.
  8. Pour into a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan.
  9. Let cool completely at room temperature before cutting into 1-inch squares. For faster cooling, refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
