Lemon And Blueberry Ice Cream Terrine Recipes

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

LEMON TERRINE WITH LEMON CONFIT AND MINT SYRUP

Steps:

• For the lemon gelatin: Place 1 cup lemon juice in a bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over, and let stand to soften, 5 minutes.
• Bring sugar and 3 1/2 cups water to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Pour syrup over gelatin mixture; whisk to dissolve gelatin. Add remaining 3/4 cup juice.
• Pour 1/3 cup gelatin mixture into a 4-cup porcelain terrine mold. Press mint leaves into gelatin. Cover; refrigerate to set, 45 to 50 minutes. Add remaining gelatin mixture. Cover; refrigerate until firm, 4 hours.
• For the lemon confit: Heat oven to 300 degrees. Place lemons in a single layer in a Pyrex dish. Combine sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Pour over lemons. Bake until translucent, about 45 minutes. Let cool.
• For the mint syrup: Bring sugar and 1/4 cup water to boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate. Blanch mint in boiling water for 30 seconds, strain, and plunge into ice water. Drain; squeeze in a kitchen towel to dry. Puree syrup and mint in blender. Strain, and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
• To serve: Unmold terrine by dipping briefly into hot water and running tip of knife around edge; invert onto a platter. Serve with lemon confit and mint syrup.

LEMON ICE CREAM SANDWICHES WITH BLUEBERRY SWIRL

Steps:

• Make lemon ice cream:
• Transfer ice cream to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave at 30 percent power in 10-second intervals, stirring, until softened, about 50 seconds total (see cooks' note, below).
• Stir in lemon zest and juice. Spread ice cream thinly in a 13-by 9-inch baking dish and freeze while making compote and sandwich layers.
• Make blueberry compote:
• Cook blueberries, sugar, and zest in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat, thoroughly crushing blueberries with a potato masher, until juices are released and sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes.
• Stir together lemon juice and cornstarch, then stir into blueberry mixture. Boil, stirring, 1 minute (mixture will thicken).
• Transfer blueberry compote to a bowl and chill until cold, about 1 hour. Discard lemon zest.
• Make sandwich layers while compote chills:
• Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle. Butter baking pans and line with foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on each side, then butter foil.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Beat together butter and brown sugar in another bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. At low speed, add flour mixture in 2 batches, mixing until just combined.
• Divide batter between baking pans and spread into thin, even layers with offset spatula. Bake until golden-brown but still tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely in pans, about 30 minutes.
• Assemble sandwiches:
• Dollop tablespoons of blueberry compote all over ice cream, then swirl it gently through ice cream with a spoon. Spoon all of ice cream over 1 sandwich layer (in pan) and spread evenly using clean offset spatula. Invert second sandwich layer over ice cream, pressing gently to form an even sandwich. Wrap baking pan in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Transfer sandwich to a cutting board using overhang. Trim edges if desired, then cut into 8 pieces.

BLUEBERRY ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until sugar is dissolved and berries are softened. Press mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl; discard pulp. Stir in cream. Cover and refrigerate overnight., Fill cylinder of ice cream freezer two-thirds full; freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. (Refrigerate any remaining mixture until ready to freeze.) Transfer ice cream to freezer containers, allowing headspace for expansion. Freeze until firm, 2-4 hours. Repeat with any remaining ice cream mixture.
