Lulus Lemon Crunch Pie
Ingredients:
nuts, almonds
spices, ginger, ground
butter, without salt
milk, canned, condensed, sweetened
cream, fluid, heavy whipping
lemon juice, raw
Directions:
1 Lightly oil an 18 20cm (7 8 inch) spring-release cake tin, line the base with grease-proof / non-stick baking parchment.
You could make this in a pie dish if you would prefer, then you can skip the parchment paper lining.
2 Blitz the cookies and toasted almonds together in a food processor for about a minute until roughly chopped, empty into a bowl and then mix in the melted butter and stir until evenly distributed.
3 Press this mixture firmly into the base of the lined cake tin or pie dish, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
4 Zest all 4 lemons (without the Pith please!)
and then juice them too, you should get about a cup-full of juice and also the zest.
5 Empty the cans of condensed milk into a bowl and stir in the cream give it a good stir, make sure it is well mixed together.
6 Now, stirring constantly, add the lemon zest and juice a little bit at a time, as you do this the mixture will really start to thicken up, go on get those arm muscles working!
7 Pour the thickened mixture over the chilled cookie base and refrigerate overnight.
8 Remove carefully from cake tin and sprinkle with toasted almonds for decoration if desired.
Leave whole and serve on a pretty dish to impress your guests or serve in wedges / slices when the time comes!
Note:
OK so we dont always plan these things enough in advance to chill them overnight, so in a pinch 6 hours serious chilling minimum will make it just thick enough to remove from the cake tin and stand on its own 2 feet, but I really recommend overnight for best results!
Obviously if you are making this in a pie dish it doesnt matter as much but at least you wont have a gloopy soupy dessert to serve if you chill it for the right amount of time.
