Categories     Dessert

Time 8h50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
6 tbsp unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
1/8 tsp salt (see notes)
2 10-oz cans sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice (see notes)
Meyer lemon zest (add all the zest from lemons you use)
Lemon whipped cream (see notes)
Toasted shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • In a small bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut, 6 tablespoons melted butter and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Stir until evenly moist. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir 2 cans sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup sour cream, ¾ cup lemon juice and lemon zest until thoroughly combined.
  • Optional: To ensure the smoothest filling, sift your filling into your pie dish through a fine mesh sieve to get rid of lumps (see notes).
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until the sides are starting to firm up but the middle is still a little jiggly (not soupy). Allow to cool slightly before chilling in the fridge so it can set completely, preferably overnight.
  • Serve with lemon whipped cream and toasted shredded coconut.

Provided by Island Bakes

Categories     No Bake

Number Of Ingredients 8

16 ounces full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
zest from 4 Meyer lemons
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Have available a 9-inch springform pan, pie plate or high sided tart pan. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Then, whisk in the honey until smooth. Place the graham crackers in the springform pan and whisk the melted butter mixture with a fork until combined. Evenly press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Set in the refrigerator while making the filling. To make the filling, fit a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Beat the cream cheese, sugar and zest on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and mix in the heavy cream. Mix for 30 seconds on low, then increase the speed to medium-high and mix until the mixture is thick, about 2-3 minutes. Reduce the speed again and mix in the lemon juice. Increase speed and mix until mixture is thick again, 2-3 minutes. Spread the mixture into the pan with the crust, smoothing the top. Place in the refrigerator and chill over night to allow the filling to set. Slice and serve, storing any leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days.

Crust
50 Nilla wafers
3 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
6 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted

1 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cornstarch

BLUEBERRY PIE WITH MEYER LEMON ICE CREAM



Blueberry Pie with Meyer Lemon Ice Cream image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     dessert

Time 3h55m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into pea-size pieces, plus extra for pie plate
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
Pinch kosher salt
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
2 pints fresh blueberries
1 Meyer lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Meyer Lemon Ice Cream, recipe follows
3 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 Meyer lemons, zested and juiced
1 cup sugar
6 large eggs

Steps:

  • Combine the butter, flour and salt in a food processor. Pulse, pulse, pulse until the mixture looks like finely grated cheese. Add half of the ice water and pulse again. The mixture should start to come together to form a rough ball; if it still seems dry, add the remaining ice water and pulse until it has formed a rough ball. Remove the mixture from the food processor to a clean work surface and form it into 2 discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (This can be done a few days in advance.)
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Combine blueberries, lemon zest and juice, sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Set aside.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before using to allow it to soften up a bit. Dust the dough and a work surface with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll one disc of dough out, rotating the dough a quarter turn after each roll and dusting lightly with flour if it feels tacky, into an even 11-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick.
  • Butter a 9-inch pie plate and lay the dough in the plate. (There should be about 1/2-inch dough hanging over the sides. If there is more than that, trim it with a sharp pair of kitchen shears.) Fold the dough underneath itself around the rim of the pie plate and pinch or crimp into desired shape.
  • Roll out second disc of dough and slice into 1 1/2-inch strips.
  • Fill the pie with blueberries and lattice the dough strips on top. Crimp the edges to seal. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 195 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Allow to cool and set, about 1 hour. Serve topped with Meyer Lemon Ice Cream.
  • Prepare a large bowl of ice water and set aside. Combine the cream, vanilla extract, lemon zest and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, turn off the heat and stir in lemon juice. Combine the eggs and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a small bowl and beat to a homogeneous consistency.
  • Strain the cream mixture, then whisk a third of the cream mixture into the egg mixture. Immediately whisk the egg mixture back into the remaining cream mixture.
  • Chill the mixture over the ice water bath.
  • Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's directions. Transfer to a container and freeze, 2 hours.
  • Special equipment: an ice cream machine

Tips:

  • For the perfect balance of tart and sweet, use a combination of Meyer lemons and regular lemons in your pie filling.
  • Don't overmix the pie dough, or it will become tough. Just mix until the dough comes together.
  • Chill the pie dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • To prevent the pie crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for about 15 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. Leave about 1/2 inch of space around the edges so that the filling doesn't bubble over.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set properly.

Conclusion:

With its creamy filling, flaky crust, and bright citrus flavor, Meyer lemon cream pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is easy to follow and will produce a delicious pie that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give Meyer lemon cream pie a try!
