Steps:

• Lightly grease an 8" pan.
• Melt butter and add graham wafer crumbs.
• Mix and press most of the crumbs in the bottom of the pan reserving a couple of tablespoons for later.
• Combine in a sauce pan a 1/2 cup sugar, 2 egg yolks and lemon juice.
• Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thickened. Add a tablespoon of lemon zest (optional but great).
• Cool.
• Beat 2 egg whites to form stiff peaks.
• Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff.
• Fold meringue into cooled custard together with 1 1/4 cups of whipping cream whipped.

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 LEMONADE

Steps:

• Reserve 1 lemon for garnish. Remove wide strips of zest from 2 lemons with a vegetable peeler (do not remove the pith). Juice enough of the lemons to make 2 cups lemon juice.
• Add the lemon zest strips, sugar and 1 1/2 cups water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Turn off the heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt. Discard the zest strips and let cool for 15 minutes.
• Pour the simple syrup into a pitcher and stir in the lemon juice and 2 cups cold water. Divide the mixture among three 12-compartment ice cube trays and freeze until solid, 8 hours and up to overnight. (The ice cubes will not be as solid as ice.)
• Add the lemonade cubes and 1/2 cup cold water to a blender and blend, stopping the blender and stirring as needed, until the mixture is smooth and pourable. Pour the lemonade slushie into four 8-ounce glasses. Slice 4 thin slices from the reserved lemon and garnish each glass with a lemon slice.

FROZEN LEMONADE

Steps:

• In a blender or smoothie machine, process the lemon juice and sugar for approximately 30 seconds to blend well. Add 2 cups of water and half the ice and blend, crushing the ice. Add the remaining ice and water. Blend on high speed until the mixture resembles a frozen delight!
• Divide among 6 glasses and top each glass with a cherry.

FROZEN LEMON SQUARES

Steps:

• Mix graham crumbs and margarine; press onto bottom of 9-inch square pan.
• Beat yogurt and concentrate with mixer until blended; spread over crust.
• Freeze 4 hours or until firm. Serve topped with COOL WHIP.

FROZEN LEMON FLUFF DESSERT

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together jello, sugar, water, and lemon juice until sugar is dissolved. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until almost set (about 1 hour).
• Press crushed lemon oreos into the bottom of a 9x13" pan, set aside.
• In a medium bowl, pour evaporated milk. Beat until stiff peaks start to form (about 3-5 minutes). Add whipped evaporated milk to the jello mixture, and fold in until completely combined. Pour mixture over oreo crust.
• Freeze for 2-3 hours, until set. Cut into squares and serve topped with lemon slices and lemon zest.

FROZEN LEMON PIE POPS

Steps:

• Whisk together condensed milk, zest, and juice. Beat cream until it just holds stiff peaks, then gently fold into condensed milk mixture.
• Spoon into ice pop molds, stopping about 1/4 inch from top (filling will expand slightly when frozen). Tap filled molds on counter a couple of times to eliminate any air bubbles.
• Put cover on molds and insert sticks, making sure they are straight (important for removing top when unmolding). Freeze until completely firm, about 4-5 hours.
• To unmold, dip molds in a deep container, such as a pot of room-temperature water, letting water come to within 1/4 inch of top of molds, for 30 seconds. Remove cover and pull out pops. Serve immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve.
