This impressive dessert, piled high with vanilla ice cream, lemon sauce and meringue, won my mother the grand prize in a local cooking contest as a first-time entrant. It's the perfect finale to a special meal. -Kevin Weeks North Palm Beach, Florida

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1-1/2 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
