Although eaten refrigerated, not frozen, this rich dessert melts in your mouth like ice cream! One of it's special assets is being able to make it ahead and freeze to have on hand for special occasions. Mother made this often, and it is still my favorite dessert.

- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Stiff peaks are ideal, but if you overbeat them, they will become dry and crumbly.
