Nutritional value per serving:
Calories: 289
Protein: 4.2 g
Carbohydrate: 40.3 g
Fat: 13.2 g

4 eggs (separated yolks)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup whipping cream
4 cups sliced strawberries

1) Preheat oven to 120 degrees C. (250 degrees F.)
2) Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Draw a 23 cm. ( 9 inch) diameter circle in the middle.
3) In a large glass or metal bowl, use an electric mixer to mix the eggs together with the vanilla, cream of tartar, and salt until peaks form. Blend in the sugar (2 tbsp. at a time), beating well each time. Continue to beat until firm, smooth peaks form.
4) Pour inside the circle on the cookie sheet so that the sides are higher than the center. Cook in the oven for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours until the batter becomes crusty on the outside and firm to the touch. Turn off the heat and let cool inside the oven, leaving the door slightly open.
5) In the meantime, in a casserole with a thick bottom, use an electric mixer to beat the egg yolks with 1/3 cup of sugar and lemon juice. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously for five minutes or until the mixture becomes thick and smooth. Cover with plastic wrap in such a way as the wrap touches the surface. Let cool.
6) Whip the cream until it is firm; blend into the lemon preparation. Before serving, cover with whipped cream and strawberries.
