Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- 1¼ cup caster sugar
- 1¾ cup whipping cream
- ⅓ cup milk
- 10 oz. Maria biscuits (or other rich tea biscuits)
Equipment
- Stand mixer
Instructions
- Separate the eggs.
- In a large saucepan, add the egg yolks, ⅓ cup (70g) sugar, and the milk, and mix well.
- Cook this mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until thick. Set aside for two hours to cool.
- Beat the egg whites with the lemon juice in the bowl of a stand mixer. When the egg whites begin to firm up, slowly and gradually add the remaining caster sugar, while continuing to whisk until the meringue mixture becomes shiny and smooth.
- In a large bowl, whip the cream and then gently stir in the meringue.
- Crush the Maria biscuits and set aside.
- In a large bowl or in individual cups, add a layer of egg white + cream, then a layer of crumbled biscuits and another layer of egg whites + cream, and finish with a layer of egg yolk cream.
- Refrigerate for at least two hours before eating.
