This dessert is for lemon lovers. Excellent as is, it also makes a great
filling for a baked Atkins piecrust.

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 170°F (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.
