2	eggs, separated	2
3/4 cup	sugar	375 mL
1 small can	crushed pineapple (8 oz/240 mL) with syrup	1 small can
2 tbsp	fresh lemon juice	30 mL

Combine egg yolks, 1/2 cup/125 mL of the sugar, pineapple with syrup, lemon juice, and buttermilk in the blender; whirl until blended. Soften gelatin in water; stir over hot water until dissolved; blend into buttermilk mixture. Pour into a 2-quart/2 L container and freeze until firm around the outer edges of the container, about 1 1/2 hours.
