Cut into thin disks and bake at 180 for about 10-15 minutes. They expand quite a lot. Cut into the shape of your ice cream mould.
To make the lemon parfait. This is a simple ice cream it's success depends on the beating of the yolks and sugar syrup.
Beat the yolks in an electric mixer until very light in colour, thick and fluffy.
Put the sugar and lemon juice into a sauce pan and melt on low without colouring until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the hot sugar syrup over the yolks a dribble at a time while beating until all incorporated. Beat this mixture till cool.
Put the mascarpone in a separate bowl and whisk in 1/4 of the egg yolks to lighten . Lightly whisk the rest of the yolks into the mascarpone. Don't over mix
Clean the bowl and beat the cream to soft peak. Fold the cream into the mascarpone mixture . Pour into a loaf mould or individual moulds.
Freeze overnight.
Beat the whites till lightly foamy and white. Gradually start adding the sugar until the meringue is glossy and thick.

Serve this with fruit ( quinces or raspberries or strawberries or with lemon caramel sauce if you can handle more sugar) Caramelise the sugar till dark brown, add the lemon juice and cool slightly. Whisk in the butter and cool.
