1 env. unflavored gelatin
1/2 c. lemon juice
4 eggs, separated

3 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel
1 tsp. vanilla
2 pkg. lady fingers

Split or separate lady fingers. Cut 1 rounded end from enough split lady fingers to line sides of 9 inch springform pan. Moisten with enough lady fingers to cover sides plus bottom of pan.

Soften gelatin in lemon juice. In top of double boiler beat together egg yolks, 1 cup sugar and salt until thick. Add gelatin and butter and cook over hot, not boiling water until thick. Stir in lemon peel and vanilla. Cool.

Beat egg whites, gradually adding 1/2 cup sugar. Beat until stiff. Whip cream. Add whites and whipped cream to lemon mixture. Turn into pan and refrigerate. May top with fresh strawberries and garnish with more whipped cream just before serving.
