4 eggs
4 tablespoons white sugar
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
4 pounds confectioners' sugar for dusting
Line a greased 1 tablespoon baking dish with waxed paper. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1 cup sugar. Mix milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, lemon zest and vanilla extract into egg yolks, egg yolk mixture by hand until distributed. Pour 1/4 cup egg yolk mixture into cool whip to serve (do not use pastry blender). Dust warm whipped with confectioners' sugar for finishing. Refrigerate until chilled before cutting into squares.
All I can say is that this is a great dessert! I made it at the same time as the chocolate cake for a party, and everyone loved it! I did use two eggs and 3/4 cup white sugar, both to make the cake thicker (cured butter rather than shortening) and also because the icing was a little thin. Thanks for a nice recipe!
I have made this recipe for quite some time, and I love it! However, I made this recipe less than 24 hours before the recipe time listed. This made it more difficult for my part, as overnight brings more texture and work into the recipe, but I suppose that would be expected after spending so much time trying to stuff the little "casserole" :)
