Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Egg yolks
Thicken the sauce and add richness as they whip over heat.
Unflavored gelatin
Sets the mixture so it holds its shape when unmolded.
Cooked rice
Forms the body of the dessert, giving it a soft, creamy texture.
Milk
Cooks with the rice to make a thick, creamy base.
Prepared whipped topping
Adds lightness and airiness to the rice mixture.
Sugar
Sweetens the custard and balances the tart lemon and sherry.

The step that matters

Whip the yolk mixture over boiling water until thick and fluffy. Egg yolks thicken gently with heat, and whipping adds air. Keeping the mixture moving over simmering water, not boiling hard, helps prevent the yolks from scrambling while it thickens.

Swap the lemon
