LEMON ICE CREAM PIE 27 AUGUST 2022
No, it is not just a matter of melting a quart of ice cream, pouring it into a pie shell, and then re-freezing it. This video starts from scratch, but don't believe the "5-minute" claim; that five minutes does NOT include the prep time. The recipe is just for LEMON ICE CREAM; I really don't care for a bowl of ice cream scoops, and I want to use up the two shortbread pie crusts I still have on hand so I can order more (they come 12 at a time), so I thought to make it as a pie . . .
I still had a cut-up, de-zested lemon from the LEMON-BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE CAKE ROLL; I always have condensed milk available, and Neal had just brought home a carton of heavy whipped cream, so I was all set . . . . . . oh, except for a way to squeeze the lemon juice, so I ordered a . . .
I'm beginning to feel like Tim "The Toolman" Taylor from the old Home Improvement TV series. But, as Neal says, a woman is only as good as her tools. And don't be fooled by the colors; this is NOT plastic. It is a very heavy, well-made metal lemon/lime squeezer. My mixing station, using the hand mixer this time. I don't think that lemon & chocolate are a good mix, so I'm using Biscoff cookies instead. Now for the things that have to be prepared BEFORE the 5-minute timer begins: * Making the cookies into crumbs; I used 10, but wished I'd stopped at eight . . . (This Cuisinart has been used more since December 2021 than all the 41 years previous.) * Whipping the cream and storing it in the fridge . . . * Convincing Emmie to . . . . . . STAY OUTTA THE KITCHEN! Somebody say something to me? Hello . . . you talkin' to me? I put the bag that had stored the cut-up lemon in it on the floor . . . . . . and Emmie stayed out of the kitchen the entire time I was working in there. Fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk & lemon mixture . . . . . . toss the cookie crumbs on top . . . . . . and fold them in . . . . . . pour into shortbread crust . . . . . . and this is what it looks like when it's been in the freezer for 12 hours . . . Is it a keeper? Meh . . . maybe if I could increase the lemon flavor and decrease the Biscoff cookie flavor, but I can't say we're enthusiastic about it. I think I wanted to make it to face the challenge of converting the European measurements to American ones, and still have the end product be edible. I succeeded.
