Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c. crushed Ritz crackers
  • 4 Tbsp sugar
  • 7 Tbsp butter melted
  • 2 qt vanilla ice cream softened
  • 1 qt raspberry sherbet softened

Topping

  • 9 Tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 c. sugar
  • 6 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 eggs beaten

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl mix together cracker crumbs, sugar and butter; press into a 9 x 13 inch pan and place in freezer until froze.
  • In a large bowl mix ice cream and sherbet until well combined. Spread over crust and freeze for a few hours.
  • For the topping melt the butter in a saucepan then add sugar and lemon juice. Mix until combined.
  • Beat eggs in medium size bowl. Add a small amount of the lemon mixture to the eggs and stir until combined. Gradually add the egg mixture to the hot filling.
