How to Make Lemon Freeze Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush 1 1/2 cups corn flakes into crumbs.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the corn flake crumbs, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter. Mix well.
  3. Set aside 1-2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture for topping.
  4. Press the remaining crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch pie pan to create a crust.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg yolks until thick and pale yellow.
  6. Gradually whisk in 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
  7. Add 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon. Stir until well combined and slightly thickened.
  8. In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  9. Gradually add 3 tablespoons granulated sugar to the egg whites while beating until glossy and stiff peaks form.
  10. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the lemon mixture until just combined.
  11. Pour the lemon mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  12. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs evenly over the top.
  13. Cover the pie pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  14. Remove from the freezer 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly.
