Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This spectacular dessert was a part of many special occasions during my childhood. Steve Reinking told me he always requested it for his birthday cake. The eggs aren't cooked, so there would be a risk of salmonella. We never knew that; never worried; and no one got sick. However, I recommend that pasteurized eggs be used to avoid the risk.
