Frozen Lemon Torte

Frozen Lemon Torte
 
 2 pk Lady fingers
 5 Eggs, separated
 3/4 cup Fresh lemon juice
 Rind of 1 lemon, grated
 1 1/4 cups Sugar
 2 cups Whipping cream, whipped
 4 tablespoons Icing sugar
 Dash of cream of tartar

Instructions:

Butter a 10" spring form pan and line sides and bottom with split lady fingers. In a saucepan, beat 5 egg yolks and 2 egg whites (reserve remaining whites) until thick. Add juice, rind and sugar. Cook over low heat until thickened. Let cool completely. Fold in the whipped cream and pour into the prepared pan. Freeze overnight, or at least 6 hours, covered with foil. Next day, beat the remaining 3 egg whites; add icing sugar and cream of tartar and beat until stiff. Spread over the frozen torte and place under the broiler until lightly browned. Watch carefully. Cool for a few minutes and return to the freezer until ready to use. Defrost 1 1/2 - 2 hours in the refrigerator before serving. Yield: 10 servings.
