  1. OK OK OK! IB I have to say this is a favorite of mine and I give you great credit when I make it. This is a light and not to rich answer to a great dinner party. Truly an awesome after dinner treat with a nice coffee. I put a twist on it and press it into a tart pan with a drop bottom. This makes for a nice fluted edge and I like to accent it with shaved cholcolate. The best part of the whole thing is the expression on someones face when I tell them the base os really egg whites and Ritz Crackers. IB you hit another home run! Keep up the good work.
