Lemon Haze
Description
This elegant British-inspired dessert features a vibrant lemon jelly base folded with stiffly beaten egg whites for a cloud-like texture. The result is a refreshing, tangy treat that balances sweetness with bright citrus notes. Perfect for afternoon tea or as a light finale to a summer meal. It requires no baking, relying instead on the natural setting properties of gelatin and the airy structure of whipped egg whites. Serve chilled for the best consistency.Ingredients
