KEY LIME-PIE SUNDAES
These little citrus fruits, in season during the summer, pack a punch -- they have a more intense flavor than the more common Persian limes (which can also be used here). Shortbread stands in for the "crust," and a bruléed meringue topping completes the pie-like sundae.

Steps:
- Beat ice cream in a bowl just until softened. Fold in curd, leaving streaks. Transfer to a loaf pan; cover with plastic wrap. Freeze at least 2 hours and up to 2 weeks.
- Combine egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water; whisk until sugar is dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch. Transfer to a mixer and whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes. Whisk in vanilla. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Scoop two balls of ice cream into each serving bowl. Top each with curd. Pipe meringue on one side; use a small kitchen torch to brown meringue. Serve, with shortbread.

Steps:
- For the Crust: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine graham-cracker crumbs, butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl; mix well. Press into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.
- For the Filling: Lower oven to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl, gently whisk together condensed milk, egg yolks, key lime juice, and zest. Pour into the prepared, cooled crust.
- Return pie to oven, and bake until the center is set but still quivers when the pan is nudged, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the Whipped Cream Topping: Shortly before serving, combine cream and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon over cooled pie and serve immediately.
- For the Meringue Topping: Add topping shortly before serving. In a large bowl, combine egg whites, sugar, and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spread meringue on pie, making sure it touches the crust all around. Use a kitchen blowtorch to brown meringue all over.
