How to Make Lemon Mallobet

  1. Melt 10 ounces of marshmallows in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently until completely smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Mix well.
  3. Refrigerate the mixture until it has fully set and become a firm gel (this may take 2-4 hours).
  4. Gently break up the jelled mixture with a spoon or spatula until it is mostly uniform. Do not overmix.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the jelled marshmallow mixture until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  7. Pour the mixture into a greased bundt pan or ice cube trays. For a festive look, add sprinkles or green food coloring to the bottom of the mold before pouring in the mixture.
  8. Freeze until solid (at least 4 hours or overnight).
  9. **For the Sauce:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  10. Pour the sauce mixture into a double boiler set over simmering water. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens to a pourable consistency (about 5-10 minutes).
  11. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and pour over the frozen Lemon Mallobet before serving.
