Meyer Lemon Ice Box Pie

Meyer Lemon Ice Box Pie

Ingredients:
4 Large Meyer lemons
3/4 Cup Sugar; plus
2 Tablespoon Sugar
1 Pinch Salt
2 1/2 Cup Water
2 Egg yolks
1/4 Cup Cornstarch
1 Blind−baked pastry shell −; (9−inch)
3 Egg whites
2 Cup Fresh blueberry coulis

Directions:
Powdered sugar; in a shaker
8 Fresh mint sprigs
1−1/2 Other Carbohydrates
In a saucepan, combine the lemon juice, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and 2 cups of
water. Bring the liquid to a boil. In a small mixing bowl, whisk the eggs,
cornstarch and remaining 1/2 cup of water, together. Spoon 1/2 cup of the
hot liquid into in the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk the egg
mixture into the lemon mixture and bring back to a boil. Cook the mixture
for about 4 minutes, or until thick, whisking constantly. Pour the mixture
into the pie shell and cool completely. Using an electric mixer, fitted with
a whip attachment, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the
remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and continue to whip until firm peaks form.
Spread the mixture evenly over the pie. Place in the oven until the top is
golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Spoon the
coulis in the center of each plate. Place a piece of the pie in the center
of the sauce. Garnish with powdered sugar and mint. This recipe yields 8
servings.
