How to Make Lone's Danish Lemon Dessert

  1. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of gelatin over 1/4 cup of hot water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large egg yolks with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until pale and thick (about 5 minutes).
  3. Zest 1 lemon and add the zest to the egg yolk mixture. Stir to combine.
  4. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. In another bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  6. Gently heat the bloomed gelatin mixture until dissolved. Add 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice to the gelatin and pour slowly into the egg yolk mixture, folding gently to combine.
  7. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites in two additions.
  8. Lastly, fold in the whipped cream until just combined.
  9. Pour the mixture into a pretty glass bowl or individual serving glasses. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
