COCONUT-LEMON ICE CREAM CAKE



Coconut-Lemon Ice Cream Cake image

This lemon ice cream cake is a cool treat my family loves anytime, but we find it especially refreshing on a hot summer day. The cream of coconut and lemon juice make a delicious combo, and the streusel adds a nice crunch. You can substitute any crunchy sugar, lemon or coconut cookie in place of the shortbread, as long as each cookie is about 2 inches. —Janet Gill, Canton, Ohio

LEMON AND TOASTED-COCONUT MERINGUE PIE



Lemon and Toasted-Coconut Meringue Pie image

Categories     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Easter     Lemon     Coconut     Spring     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Crust
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons (about) ice water
Filling
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
6 large egg yolks
4 large eggs
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Meringue
6 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend flour, coconut, and salt in processor. Add butter and cut in, using on/off turns, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk egg yolk and 2 tablespoons ice water in small bowl to blend. Add to processor and blend until mixture begins to clump together, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 2 hours. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling.)
  • Roll out dough on floured surface to 13-inch round. Transfer to 10-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold overhang under; crimp decoratively. Pierce crust all over with fork; freeze 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until crust is set, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake until crust is pale golden, about 15 minutes longer. Cool completely on rack.
  • For filling:
  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Whisk sugar and cornstarch in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Whisk in yolks, whole eggs, lemon juice, and salt. Whisk over medium heat until mixture thickens and just begins to boil around edges, about 6 minutes. Add butter; whisk until smooth. Cool 10 minutes. Pour warm filling into crust.
  • For meringue:
  • Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and beat until soft peaks form. Beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, then beat until stiff glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes. Gently fold 3/4 cup toasted coconut into meringue. Spread coconut meringue over warm filling, covering completely, sealing meringue to crust edges and mounding in center.
  • Bake pie 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 275°F; bake 30 minutes longer. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup toasted coconut over pie; continue to bake until meringue is light golden brown and set when pie is shaken slightly, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer pie to rack and cool completely, about 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Refrigerate uncovered.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor for this ice cream. If you can, try to find organic lemons, as they will have the most intense flavor.
  • Toast the coconut: Toasting the coconut adds a delicious nutty flavor to the ice cream. Be sure to watch the coconut closely while it's toasting, as it can burn easily.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk: Full-fat coconut milk will give the ice cream a richer, creamier texture. If you use light coconut milk, the ice cream will be thinner and less flavorful.
  • Chill the ice cream mixture thoroughly before churning: This will help the ice cream to churn more quickly and smoothly.
  • Churn the ice cream until it is firm: This will help to prevent the ice cream from becoming icy.
  • Store the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer: This will help to keep the ice cream fresh and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This lemon and toasted coconut ice cream is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a delicious dessert, give this recipe a try!
