Ingredients
  

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice approximately 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest approximately 2 lemons

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 7 ounces 54 cookies vanilla wafers, crushed into crumbs

  • In a bowl, over a double boiler set to medium heat, cook all ingredients, whisking constantly. Cook until just before boiling. Remove from heat, and allow to cool completely.

  • Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Then beat cream with sugar and vanilla until peaks form. Fold beaten egg whites and lemon curd into cream mixture, and combine completely.
