Snowy Pudding

Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl. Let it stand until the gelatin has softened and absorbed the water, approximately 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the softened gelatin mixture with the boiling water, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved. (Approximately 2-3 minutes)

Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. This may take 30-45 minutes.

While the gelatin mixture is chilling, beat the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. (Approximately 3-5 minutes)

Once the lemon-gelatin mixture has reached the desired consistency, beat it with the electric mixer until frothy. (Approximately 1-2 minutes)

Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the lemon mixture until just combined and the mixture holds its shape. Be careful not to overmix.

Pour the mixture into lightly greased molds or a serving dish. Chill in the refrigerator until completely set, at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.
