1 envelope unsweetened gelatin
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
7 eggs, separated, at room temperature (see note)
6 packets sugar substitute (up to 10)
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier, or other orange flavored
liqueur
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1. In a medium bowl, dissolve gelatin in lemon juice. Set
bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (water should
not touch bowl). Whisk in egg yolks and sugar
substitute; cook, whisking constantly, until a candy
thermometer registers 170F (about 4 minutes). Remove
from heat; stir in orange liqueur. Transfer to a large
bowl.
2. With an electric beater, beat egg whites until stiff peaks
form; set aside. Whip cream until stiff peaks form. Fold
egg whites into yolk-gelatin mixture until combined.
3. Gently fold in whipped cream. Taste for sweetness;
adjust if necessary.
4. Cover with foil and refrigerate until well chilled.
5. Note: If you prefer not to consume uncooked egg
whites, use a powdered egg white product (sold in the
baking section of most supermarkets) instead.
This dessert is for lemon lovers. Excellent as is, it also makes a
great filling for a baked Atkins piecrust. Atkins - Lemon Mousse
