Lemon Whipped Pie Recipes

LEMON PIE

Steps:

• For the crust:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Combine the graham crackers, almonds, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt in a food processor. Process until the ingredients are broken down and resembles sand. Transfer to a medium bowl. Pour the melted butter over and stir thoroughly with a rubber spatula.
• Transfer the mixture to the tart pan and gently press into an even layer and up the sides of the pan. Then firm pack it so the crust will hold together when sliced after baking.
• Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
• While the crust cools, make the filling: Combine the 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon zest, the lemon juice, condensed milk and egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
• Bake until the filling is mostly set but still jiggles slightly in the center, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the tart pan on a wire rack at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
• For the topping: Just before serving the pie, whip the cream and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl, starting on low speed then increasing to medium speed, until soft peaks form.
• Pile the whipped cream on top of the pie, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Garnish with lemon zest, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• To Make Lemon Filling: In a double boiler, combine cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Stir in water, mixing well. Cook until mixture is thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
• Place egg yolks in a medium bowl and beat well. Slowly pour 1/2 cup of cornstarch mixture into egg yolks, whisking constantly.
• Pour egg yolk mixture back into cornstarch mixture in double boiler, continuing to whisk constantly. Return double boiler to heat and cook mixture 2 minutes longer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
• Stir butter or margarine, lemon juice, and lemon rind into thickened mixture. Allow mixture to cool, then pour into pie shell.
• To Make Meringue: In a large metal or glass mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add 6 tablespoons sugar a little at a time, continuing to beat until all sugar is incorporated and whites are stiff. Spread meringue into pie shell, making sure to completely cover lemon filling.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, just until meringue is golden brown. Chill before serving.
