Julie’s Lemon Freeze

Preparation

  1. Crush the cornflakes in a plastic bag. Melt the butter in a saucepan then stir in 35g of caster sugar and mix. Pour in the crushed cornflakes and stir in well then turn off the heat. 2. Turn the mixture into a lightly buttered dish, pressing it down well and evenly with the back of a wooden spoon, to make a base for the pudding. Place it in the fridge to chill.

  3. Separate the eggs into 2 separate bowls. Beat the egg yolks then stir in the condensed milk. Add the lemon zest and then the juice, a little at a time, whisking as you do so to thicken it.
