Creamy, airy lemon custard is a light and refreshing finale to a heavy Yom Tov meal. Can be served alone, with a simple garnish as pictured here, or layered with fruit or Pesach crumbs in parfait glasses.

  • 1 and 1/4 cups water

  • juice of 1 lemon

  • chopped nuts for garnish

Directions

3.

Beat egg yolks and add them to the custard, adding more sugar or lemon juice if necessary. Cool.

4.

Beat egg whites until stiff. Gently combine custard and egg whites.

I’m not medically supposed to have much citrus, so guess what I am attracted to.
Might use orange flavorings and lemon juice

Can I substitute oil for the shortening?
