My husband loves this! It's an old recipe from his mother and has all the characteristics of an old, time tested family favorite recipe. Elegant and beautiful to see, as well as a bright and lovely flavor. Cooking time reflects chilling time.
Ingredients:
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup water
1 (13 1/2 ounce) can milk, chilled
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 cups bite sized pieces angel food cake
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 (6 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
Directions:
1. Mix gelatin, sugar, salt in the top of a double boiler.
2. Add eggs and heat until well blended.
3. Stir in thawed lemonade concentrate and water.
4. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly until mixture coats a spoon (about 5 minutes).
5. Cool.
6. Chill a large bowl and beaters.
7. Beat chilled milk until foamy.
8. Add lemon juice and whip until very stiff.
9. Fold in custard from the double boiler thoroughly.
