This recipe is so versatile! It can be used as a pie filling, frosting and filling for a 2 or 3 layer cake, or as a mousse. It is so, so easy, and has never failed me. It is also really, really delicious.

Although I appreciate the versatility of this recipe, I would be concerned about eating raw eggs.
