1 |
To prepare
crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine
butter and sugar (don't cream). Add flour and
mix until a dough forms. |
|
2 |
Press 2/3 of
the mixture into a 9x13" pan. Place 1/3 of the
mixture in a separate small baking pan for the
crumb topping. |
|
3 |
Bake both
for 12-15 minutes. You will need to stir the
crumbs often to keep them from burning. Remove
from the oven and let cool. |
|
4 |
To prepare
filling: In a double boiler, melt caramels and
milk. Remove from heat and let cool a little
bit. |
|
5 |
In a small
bowl, beat sugar, water, egg white, vanilla and
lemon juice with an electric mixer on high speed
for 3-5 minutes. |
|
6 |
Whip the
cream and then fold into the egg white mixture.
Pour half of this mixture over the cooled crust.
Dribble some of the caramel mixture over the
filling. Repeat, using remaining filling and
caramel. Cut through with a knife to give a
marbled appearance. |
|
7 |
Sprinkle
with the baked crumbs. Freeze for at least 6
hours, or overnight. Cut into squares to serve. |
