Judging by the incredulous, delighted looks on the food editors’ faces when they swallowed their first spoonful of what is essentially cold, airy, whipped lemonade, this 19th-century dessert deserves a renaissance. The warm, sunny sweetness of basil infuses the accompanying custard sauce.

Cooks' notes:

•The egg whites will not be fully cooked.
•Snow pudding and custard sauce can be chilled separately, tightly covered, up to 1 day.
