Lemon Mousse

== Description ==
This dessert is for lemon lovers. Excellent as is, it also makes a great filling for a baked Atkins piecrust.
 
=== Ingredients ===
* 1 envelope unsweetened gelatin
* 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
* 7 eggs, separated, at room temperature (see note)
* 6 packets sugar substitute (up to 10)
* 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier, or other orange flavored liqueur
* 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
== Directions ==
# In a medium bowl, dissolve gelatin in lemon juice.
# Set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (water should not touch bowl).
# Whisk in egg yolks and sugar substitute; cook, whisking constantly, until a candy thermometer registers 170 °F (about 4 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in orange liqueur.
# Transfer to a large bowl.
# With an electric beater, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; set aside.
# Whip cream until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into yolk-gelatin mixture until combined.
# Gently fold in whipped cream. Taste for sweetness; adjust if necessary.
# Cover with foil and refrigerate until well chilled.
# Note: If you prefer not to consume uncooked egg whites, use a powdered egg white product (sold in the baking section of most supermarkets) instead.
