Easy…no cooking…just mix and freeze.
Lemon Snow Freeze
It’s easy to make-and easier to eat! The smoothness comes from Eagle Brand’s sweetened condensed milk…a pre-cooked milk and sugar blend…the drifts of sweet crunchiness, from Baker’s light, moist Angel Flake Coconut.
Lemon Snow Freeze
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs, separated
1 can (1 1/3 cups) Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 tablespoon grated rind
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 can Baker’s Angel Flake Coconut
Combine graham cracker crumbs with 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture on bottom and sides of lightly buttered refrigerator tray; chill. Beat egg yolks till thick. Combine with Eagle Brand Milk.
Add lemon rind and juice gradually, stirring until thick.
Stir in 1 cup Baker’s coconut. Whip egg whites until foamy. Gradually beat in rest of sugar, then beat until stiff. Fold into lemon mixture.
Pour into tray. Sprinkle top with remaining coconut. Chill in freezer until firm, about 4-6 hours.
Creamy smooth Eagle Brand and tender Angel Flake Coconut combine to make this the heavenliest frozen dessert ever. Easy-there’s no cooking, no second beating, no refreezing.
Use up Lemons
Lemons are available year-round but peak from April through July. That’s right about the time you look forward to enjoying the refreshingly tart taste in a variety of dishes and beverages. When selecting lemons, avoid any that are under-ripe and green. It should feel firm to the touch, have a smooth, finely grained peel and be heavy for its size. They can be stored for up to three weeks in the refrigerator. Lemon desserts are often requested by readers, so I’m sharing three and adding one for lemonade that is perfect to have on hand in your home or to give as a gift.
