Frozen Lemon Ginger Snap Pie Recipes

FROZEN LEMON CREAM PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt. Stir in the butter. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan. Evenly press across the bottom and up the sides to make a crust (I use a metal measuring cup to press the crumbs). Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the filling: In a large bowl, combine the condensed milk, lemon zest and juice, sugar, and egg yolks. Whisk until all the ingredients are completely blended. Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
• Top with whipped cream and garnish with candied lemon peel.

FROZEN LEMON GINGER SNAP PIE

Steps:

• Make crust
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Toss together the cookie crumbs, butter, and sugar with a fork until crumbs are moistened. Press evenly onto bottom and up the side of a 10-inch glass or ceramic pie plate. Bake the crust in the middle of the oven 7 minutes, then cool on a rack.
• Make ice cream
• Bring the cream, milk, sugar, zest, and salt to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Whisk the yolks in a bowl until blended, then add the hot cream mixture in a slow stream, whisking. Transfer the custard back to the saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until thick enough to coat back of a spoon and mixture registers 175° to 180°F on an instant-read thermometer, 3 to 5 minutes (do not let boil). Immediately pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, then stir in the lemon juice.
• Cool the custard to room temperature, stirring occasionally, then chill, its surface covered with a round of wax paper, until cold, about 3 hours. Freeze the custard in an ice cream maker, following manufacturer's directions.
• Spread the ice cream evenly in the crust and wrap the pie plate in wax or parchment paper, then in plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
• About 20 minutes before serving, put the pie in the refrigerator to soften.
• Do ahead
• The ICE CREAM can be made 2 days ahead of assembling pie. Soften in refrigerator about 30 minutes before spreading in crust. Assembled pie can be frozen up to 3 days.

• Pat the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottoms and all the way up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan or dish.
• Bake until the crust is firm, 5-7 minutes.
• Pour ¼ cup cold water into a saucepan and sprinkle with the gelatin.
• Let stand until the gelatin softens and swells, 5-10 minutes.
• Stir in the ¾ cup sugar, salt, lemon juice, orange zest, and egg yolks; the mixture will be lumpy.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the gelatin melts and the mixture thickens, 6-8 minutes.
• Do not allow the mixture to boil.
• Set the saucepan in an ice bath until the mixture is cool to the touch.
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, whip the cream and powdered sugar on med-high speed until thick, soft peaks form.
• Spoon the whipped cream into the gelatin mixture and fold together with a rubber spatula until smooth.
• Pour into the prepared crust, smoothing the top.
• Refrigerate the pie until chilled and firm, 3-4 hours.
• Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
