Ice Box Dessert by Loleen G.

This was a fun little dessert.  My girls thought it was great fun to freeze things in the heart shaped ice-cube trays.  And they were able to help put the graham cracker crumbs in the tray, then on the top.  That said, the dessert probably isn't worth the time and effort.  Not only do you have to make a pudding, you have to whip the cream and the eggs whites separately.  All of these things lead to extra dishes. 

Also, it didn't freeze very hard.  I don't know if this is because of my freezer (which isn't the newest or greatest) or if the ingredients don't freeze hard.  The shapes started melting and losing shape after only a couple minutes on the counter.  If you could figure a way to serve them immediately after taking them out, then it would work better.  This might be worth it to impress people at a baby shower or something, but only if you have a cold house that won't make them melt too quickly.




Ice Box Dessert by Loleen G.
2 egg yolks
1 C sugar
2 lemons, juiced
2 egg whites
1 C whipping cream
Graham Cracker Crumbs

On medium heat, cook egg yolks, sugar and lemon juice until thick (boiling??).  Whip egg whites (I did it until I had stiff peaks) and cream (until stiff peaks again) separately.  Add these to above cooked mixture.  Put cracker crumbs in bottom of ice tray, then add mixture, then more crumbs on top.  Freeze in refrigerator (not sure what it means to freeze in refrigerator, so I put them in the freezer) overnight and serve plain or with ice cream.  (Can be halved, since I did it that way and it worked great)
