Notes
**This recipe calls for raw eggs. Although we have never had a problem using raw eggs, I pasteurize our eggs when taking this treat to friends and neighbors. Raw eggs should never be served to those who may be pregnant, the elderly, or those with a compromised immune system. For those who do not have a source of fresh/safe eggs, pasteurized eggs can be found in the dairy case at most grocery stores - or you can make your own by following my simple instructions for pasteurizing eggs at home. Here is the link to this process. . . and believe me - it's worth the trouble. This stuff is just that good!
