1. In a medium bowl, dissolve gelatin in lemon juice. Set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (water should not touch bowl). Whisk in egg yolks and sugar substitute; cook, whisking constantly, until a candy thermometer registers 170°F (about 4 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in orange liqueur. Transfer to a large bowl.
