Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 recipe Our Favorite Pie Crust, unbaked
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 4 lemons)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (from a 1/4-ounce envelope)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line crust with aluminum foil; leave an overhang and fold over edge. Fill crust with dried beans, pie weights, or uncooked rice. Place crust on a baking sheet; bake until set and lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Remove foil (and beans). Bake without foil, 5 to 10 minutes more; if crust bubbles up, press down gently. Cool.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, sour cream, and salt; gradually whisk in lemon juice. Pour mixture into crust. Place on a baking sheet; bake until barely set (center of pie will still wiggle slightly), 25 to 35 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Make topping: Place 2 tablespoons cold water in a small saucepan, and sprinkle with gelatin; let soften about 5 minutes. Heat mixture over very low heat, stirring, until gelatin dissolves. Let cool.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream and sugar until very soft peaks form. While beating, slowly add gelatin mixture, and continue beating until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, spread over cooled pie. Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour or, loosely covered, up to 1 day.

GRAMMY'S LEMON CREAM PIE



Grammy's Lemon Cream Pie image

The best lemon cream pie you will ever taste! Original 1960s recipe made from scratch with fresh lemon juice, cream cheese and real whipped cream.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dessert

Time 4h43m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 recipe Darn Good Whole Wheat Pie Crust
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3 large lemons)
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
12 ounces reduced fat cream cheese* (softened to room temperature)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Prepare the crust according to my Darn Good Whole Wheat Pie Crust recipe, either halving the recipe (it yields enough for 2 crusts) or freezing the second crust for a later time. (I recommend making the recipe as written and freezing the second crust. It will be great to have on hand and you are going to the effort anyway, so you might as well enjoy twice the crust!)
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out the pie crust, then fit into a 9-inch wide pie plate that is 1 1/2 to 2-inches deep. Trim any overhang, then crimp the crust edges as desired. Line the crust with aluminum foil or parchment paper so that the foil/paper comes all the way up the sides of the dish and fits against the sides and bottom snugly. Fill the dish with dried beans or pie weights. Place in the preheated oven and bake until the edges are barely beginning to turn golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the foil/paper and weights, then return the crust to the oven and continue baking until the bottom looks dry and lightly golden and the edges have browned, about 5 to 8 additional minutes. The bottom of the crust will puff a little as it bakes, but it will deflate again once removed from the oven. Let cool completely.
  • Place a heatproof bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water to create a double boiler. Add the eggs into the bowl, then with a hand mixer on medium speed (or a whisk and some serious arm power), beat the eggs until thick and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes if using a mixer. With the mixer running, slowly add the sugar, then the lemon juice and lemon zest. Once incorporated, switch from a mixer (or whisk) to a rubber spatula. Continue to cook the mixture over the simmering water, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the bowl with your spatula, until it forms a thick, smooth custard, about 8 additional minutes. When you dip your spatula into the custard, the custard should easily coat the spatula's back, and if you draw a line through the custard on the back of the spatula with your finger, the sides of the custard should stay separated. Remove the bowl from the water and let cool to almost room temperature.
  • In a large mixing bowl or a standing mixer fit with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed until it is completely soft and smooth, about 3 full minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium, then gradually add the cooled lemon custard to the cream cheese, beating until smooth and fully combined so that no white streaks remain. Pour the cream cheese into the baked pastry shell. Refrigerate the pie until fully chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Up to 4 hours before serving, prepare the homemade whipped cream: In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment over medium speed. When it starts to thicken, add the powdered sugar and vanilla, increase the mixer speed to high, and continue to beat until soft peaks form. (Do not overbeat or the cream will separate.) Spread over the chilled pie, slice, and serve cold.

LEMON-LIME SATIN CREAMS



Lemon-Lime Satin Creams image

Here is an easy, citrusy dessert that can be made ahead of time for the most part. Mix lemon and lime zest with eggs, sugar and cream, and then refrigerate for up to two days -- the longer the better. Then, bake it in ramekins for about half an hour, and serve. Superfine sugar can be found in the baking aisle or made with regular sugar using a mortar and pestle.

Provided by Nigella Lawson

Categories     dessert, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Finely grated zest and juice of 2 lemons
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
6 large eggs
1 1/4 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine lemon zest and juice, lime zest and juice, sugar and eggs. Whisk until smooth. Add cream, whisk again, and transfer to a large pitcher. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate from 2 hours to 2 days, the longer the better to bring out fullest flavor.
  • When ready to bake, heat oven to 300 degrees. Heat a kettle of water until just steaming; do not boil.
  • Place six 1-cup ramekins in a roasting pan and pour cream mixture into them. Pour hot water into pan to come about halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake until cream is just set, 30 to 35 minutes; it will still wobble, but will firm as it cools.
  • Remove ramekins from water and allow to cool. Serve at room temperature, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Serve with shortbread or plain, crisp cookies.

Tips:

  • For the perfect graham cracker crust, use a combination of fine and regular graham cracker crumbs. The fine crumbs will help to bind the crust together, while the regular crumbs will add texture.
  • To make sure the lemon curd is thick and creamy, cook it over low heat and stir constantly. Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it into the pie crust.
  • For a fluffy and light whipped cream topping, make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it. You can also add a bit of sugar or vanilla extract to the cream for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue topping by placing the pie under the broiler for a few minutes. Just keep a close eye on the pie so that the meringue doesn't burn.

Conclusion:

This satiny lemon cream pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's light, fluffy, and bursting with lemon flavor. The graham cracker crust is the perfect complement to the creamy filling, and the meringue topping adds a touch of sweetness and texture. Follow these tips to make the perfect satiny lemon cream pie every time.
