Meyer Lemon Cream Pies Recipes

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.

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.

• 7. **NOTE: If juice measures a little less than 2/3 cup, you may add regular lemon juice to fill to 2/3 cup (fresh or bottled.) To make Meyer lemon zest curls, use a spoon, or small utility knife, to scrap most of the white pith from the inside of one or two of the juiced lemon halves; discard pith. Cut zest/rinds into super thin strips using very sharp knife. Spread strips out on a plate or cutting board and allow to air dry for 3 or 4 hours to promote curling. Adds very nice pop of citrus flavor!
