How to Make Frozen Lemon Crunch

  1. In a chilled bowl, whip 2 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and continue whipping until the mixture is very stiff and holds its shape.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and a pinch of salt until the mixture is thick, pale, and creamy.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the egg mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream. Add the zest of 1 lemon.
  4. Pour the lemon mixture into ice cube trays or a shallow freezer-safe dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups of cornflakes, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the cornflakes are evenly coated.
  6. Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the lemon filling in the ice cube trays or dish.
  7. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the dessert is completely firm. Let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
