Gigi's Lemon Fluff Sauce

During WWII, the Montana-Dakota Utilities Company published monthly recipes and at Christmas, sent out a Holiday menu. This is from my grandma's (Gigi)collection of recipes from them. It's deliciously light, spicy and not too rich and filling to top off a hearty dinner. Passive time is chilling time.
