Directions
Lemon Ice Cream Pie With Pecan Crust, This is a recipe that I adapted to my taste from Bon Appetit Cook time does not include chill and freeze times , Winner! This combined 3 of my childhood favorites: pecans, ice cream and lemon curd, and it delivered a perfect slightly tart lemon cheesecake-style taste I did the prettier pie version in a 9 5 pie plate, and quantities were perfect To save calories (ahem), I dispensed with the least caloric ingredient: the whipped topping; I didn’t want to obscure the taste of my lemon confection The pecan crust was easy and was a nice counterpoint to the ice cream/lemon curd; besides, when some of it crumbled during serving, those pieces can be sprinkled on top of the pie I was glad I had a fitted double-boiler; that made it so easy to maintain the simmer and whisk away in the top But I need to get a really fast instant-read food thermometer, because it was a little tricky to wait for my thermometer to read the temperature while I continued to whisk used Turkey Hill Vanilla Bean ice cream – Philadelphia-style ice cream that doesn’t need additional egg because their PA cows yield such rich milk The recipe shows total time as 40 minutes, but that is misleading, as there is a 4-hour chilling time for the lemon curd; plus after each layer, I put the pie back in the freezer for 30 minutes before the next layer; and the final 2 hours of freezing For entertaining for the calorie-conscious, I might make this in a mini-cupcake pan or a rectangular casserole and put all of the crust on the bottom, then cutting into bite-size pieces; it could be kept cold by placing frozen chiller blocks on the bottom of a 13×9 pan, then placing a tray on top, on which the bite-size squares could be stacked (I could always fit cheesecake into my WW diet ) Thank you for sharing, Diner!
