Lemon Dessert Sauce

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min. YIELD: 1 cup.
While this sauce makes a wonderful topping for angel food cake, it's also great as a glazed for roasted chicken with some thyme or rosemary...or swirled in to a homemade cheesecake.—Connie Jurvevich, Atmore, Alabama

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • Angel food or pound cake

Directions

  • 1. In the top of a double boiler, beat eggs and sugar. Stir in butter, lemon juice and zest. Cook over simmering water for 10-12 minutes or until mixture reaches 160° and is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Refrigerate for up to 1 week. Serve chilled over the cake.
