"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
1/3 c. butter
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

2 cups whipped cream
1 package of Whip-It
Directions:
Directions:
Beat the butter with the sugar until it's light and fluffy (this is unusual, but is found to reduce the curdled bits of egg). Slowly beat in the eggs and yolks. Beat for 1 minute more, then stir in the lemon juice. The mixture will look curdled, but don't panic. Cook the mixture over low heat until it becomes smooth, then increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, without letting it boil, until it thickens enough to leave a path on the back of the spoon when you drag it through the mixture (or if going by temperature, until it reaches 170ºF). Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest. Press plastic wrap on the surface to prevent a skin from forming and chill in the fridge.

Once chilled, fold in 2 cups of whipping cream that has been whipped and stabilized with Whip-It.
