Categories     Dessert

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 9 inch baked pie shell
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup lemon juice
dash of salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (, divided)
1/2 cup butter
5 Tablespoons cornstartch + 1/2 cup water
3 large eggs (, yolks and whites separated)
lemon zest (, from one small lemon)
fresh whipped cream (, for topping)

Steps:

  • Add 1 1/2 cups water, lemon juice, salt, 1 cup sugar, and butter to a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil.
  • While waiting for mixture to boil, stir cornstarch and 1/2 cup of water together in a small bowl. Stir into saucepan and turn heat to low. Cook until thickened.
  • Separate the egg yolks and whites into two separate bowls. Beat the egg yolks with a fork.
  • Add a large spoonful of the hot mixture from the saucepan, to the egg yolks and stir well. Continue slowly adding a few more spoonfuls, stirring after each addition to temper the eggs.
  • Add the tempered egg mixture to the saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
  • Beat the egg whites with electric beaters. Slowly add 1/2 cup sugar as you go. Beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold egg whites into the mixture in the saucepan.
  • Pour filling into cooled pie shell. Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. I like to place a piece of wax or parchment paper gently over the top of the pie (if you use plastic wrap or tinfoil it will pull some of the topping off when you remove it).
  • Top with freshly whipped cream.

LEMON-CRANBERRY MERINGUE PIE



Lemon-Cranberry Meringue Pie image

Sweet and soft as air, meringue is what gives this show-stopper of a pie its fluffy, bouffant appearance. Looks aside, the meringue serves an important purpose in balancing the easy lemon curd filling. To take this pie to legendary status, we added a thin layer of cranberry gelée for extra pucker-up power and quickly kissed the peaks of the meringue with a kitchen torch.

Time 2h30m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 recipe Deep-Dish Pâte Brisée crust
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large egg yolks (whites reserved for meringue)
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest, plus 3/4 cup fresh juice
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
10 ounces fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained; or frozen cranberries (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch of kosher salt
5 large egg whites, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to an approximately 13-inch round. Transfer to a 9-by-2-inch fluted tart pan, or a 9-inch deep-dish pie dish. Trim dough to be flush with edges of pan.
  • Line with parchment and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until crust is set and dry, about 25 minutes. Remove beans and parchment; continue baking until crust is golden on bottom, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
  • Lemon Filling: Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Whisk in egg yolks, lemon zest, and 1 1/3 cups water until smooth. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking frequently; boil 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat; whisk in lemon juice and butter until smooth. Pour mixture into crust. Refrigerate until filling is cool and set, about 30 minutes.
  • Cranberry Gelée: Combine cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and 3/4 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally; boil 1 minute. Press through a fine-mesh sieve (discarding solids), then pour over chilled and set lemon pudding in crust, gently spreading to edges with an offset spatula. Refrigerate until cold and set, at least 30 minutes or, loosely covered, up to 1 day. If using tart pan, remove pie from pan and transfer to a serving plate or cake stand.
  • Meringue: In the bowl of a mixer set over (but not in) a bowl of simmering water, beat egg whites and sugar until sugar has dissolved and mixture is hot. Transfer to mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on low speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar and vanilla, increase speed to medium-high and whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 8 minutes.
  • Spoon meringue onto center of pie, spreading slightly and leaving a 1-inch border between meringue and crust. Wave a kitchen torch over meringue until browned in places. Cut pie into wedges; serve. (Pie is best eaten the same day.)

LEMON CHIFFON PIE



Lemon Chiffon Pie image

Chiffon pies are gelatin based fillings lightened with egg whites.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 3h45m

Yield 8 servings or 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (6 ounces), cut into pieces
1/4 cup ice water (strain out the ice just before using)
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
4 eggs, separated
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
1/3 cup water
Sweetened whipped cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the Crust: In a food processor combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and pulse until pea-sized pieces appear.
  • In a small bowl, stir the water and vinegar together.
  • Add the vinegar mixture and pulse briefly¿it will still look crumbly. Transfer the crumbs to a work surface and shape into a round, flat disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before using. (Or, refrigerate up to 48 hours or freeze up to 1 month before using. If frozen, let thaw in the refrigerator overnight before rolling out.)
  • When the time comes to roll out the dough, let the dough warm up for a few minutes at room temperature to make it more workable. Dust a work surface with just a few tablespoons of flour and keep some extra flour at hand. Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough and start rolling outward from the center with quick, light strokes. Don't worry if the edges split a bit; concentrate on forming a good circle from the center. Lift up and rotate the dough 1/4 turn every minute or so to help ensure even rolling. The dough should feel smooth and soft; some say it should feel like the inside of your forearm. If it gets sticky, sprinkle on a bit more flour, but don't do this more than 2 or 3 times; the dough will absorb too much flour. Instead, put it back in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up the butter. Keep rolling until the circle is at least 2 inches larger than your pan (for example, 11 inches wide for a 9-inch pie pan), or 3 inches larger for deep-dish pies.
  • Set your pie pan nearby. We always use heavy aluminum pans, because glass pans seem to bake the crust too fast. However, we know that the advantage of glass is that you can easily check the color of the crust. To transfer the crust to the pan, I find it easiest to roll a finished crust up onto the rolling pin, then gently unroll it in the pan. Or, you can fold it gently in quarters, lift it up, position the center point on the center of the pan, and unfold it into the pan. Make sure that the dough is allowed to settle completely into the pan.
  • Don't stretch and press the dough into the corners; stretched dough will likely shrink back when you bake it. Instead, lift the edges of the crust to let it settle down into the corners. If the dough tears a bit, don't be concerned; we'll patch it in a minute. Using scissors or a sharp knife, trim the dough to within 3/4-inch of the rim. Use any extra scraps to patch the crust, pressing with your fingers (wet them if necessary) or set aside. To decorate the rim, fold under the excess dough then just press it all around with the back of a fork. For a slightly more advanced look, press the thumb and forefinger of 1 hand together. Use them to gently push the thick dough rim outward, while pushing inward with the forefinger of the other hand, so that they intersect in a "V" with the dough in between. Repeat all around the rim to make a wavy edge. Chill 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line the shell with a sheet of foil and fill with raw rice or dried beans. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil and rice and continue baking until golden brown. Let the pie shell cool on a rack while you make the filling.
  • Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl with a whip attachment, whisk together the yolks and 1/3 cup sugar until fluffy, then add the lemon juice and zest. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, and cook, whisking, until thickened, about 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let dissolve.
  • Remove the yolk mixture from the heat and whisk in the gelatin until dissolved. Place the mixture over an ice bath and stir with a rubber spatula to cool it. Once it's room temperature remove it from the ice bath and let it sit while you whip the meringue.
  • Place the egg whites in a clean dry bowl and whip on medium speed until foamy; then turn up to high and continue whipping until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and whip until glossy and sugar has dissolved. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the lemon mixture; then fold in the remaining whites in 3 batches. Pour the mixture into the cooled pie shell and smooth the top.
  • Chill the pie at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with dollops of whipped cream.
