MEYER LEMON PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place sugar, eggs, and lemon juice in a blender; blend until smooth, about 3 minutes.
• Pour melted butter into the blender and blend for 30 seconds more.
• Transfer lemon filling to the pastry shell.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is just set, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow pie to rest until completely set before serving, about 15 minutes more.

EASY MEYER LEMON PIE WITH CONDENSED MILK

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.

MEYER LEMON CREAM PIE

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.

MEYER LEMON CREAM PIES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
• 2. In a medium bowl, mix together all the crust ingredients. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of four tartlet molds or 4-ounce ramekins.
• 3. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.

BLUEBERRY PIE WITH MEYER LEMON ICE CREAM

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

MEYER LEMON PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Place Nilla wafers, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Process until fine crumbs form. Add butter, and process until mixture starts to come together (it should hold together when pinched). Transfer to a 9-inch Jadeite or glass pie plate. Use a small measuring cup to press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Bake until crust is golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes; cool.
• Whisk together sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Whisk in whole eggs, egg yolks, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbling, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon zest and butter until melted and smooth.
• Transfer filling to crust and smooth top. Cool to room temperature and then chill until set, 8 hours or up to overnight.
• Combine strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, and vanilla bean in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fruit is broken down, 10 to 12 minutes; cool.
• Top pie with whipped cream and lemon zest. Serve with compote alongside.
