   • Once the angel food cake has cooled, trim off the crusts and break the cake into bite-size pieces. Set aside.

3. Make the Lemon Custard:

   • In a double boiler, combine 6 egg yolks, 3/4 cup of sugar, and 3/4 cup of lemon juice. Cook the mixture over simmering water, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

4. Add Gelatin:

   • Remove the lemon custard mixture from heat. Soften 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin in 1/4 cup of water, then add it to the custard mixture. Stir well to combine. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

5. Whip Egg Whites:

   • In a separate mixing bowl, beat 6 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup of sugar while continuing to beat until glossy peaks form.

6. Combine Egg Whites and Custard:

   • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cooled lemon custard mixture until well combined.

7. Assemble the Dessert:

   • In a tube pan, arrange one-third of the angel food cake pieces loosely on the bottom. Pour one-third of the lemon custard mixture over the cake layer. Repeat this process, creating three layers in total, with the final layer being the lemon custard mixture.

8. Chill Overnight:

   • Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

9. Serve:

   • Before serving, loosen the dessert from the pan. Frost the top with whipped cream or Cool Whip for a delightful finishing touch.

10. Alternative Method:

    • Alternatively, you can mix the angel food cake pieces with the custard mixture and place them in a springform pan. Chill overnight, then release the dessert from the pan and frost with whipped cream or Cool Whip before serving.
