LEMON CRUNCH BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Lemon Crunch Blueberry Muffins image

These muffins are different because the lemon flavor is a nice addition with the blueberry even though the lemon is just on the top of the muffin. These muffins are a great way to start of the day and are low in fat. If you are using frozen blueberries, DO NOT defrost them, just throw them in frozen!

30 lemon-cream-filled vanilla sandwich cookies, finely crushed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
2 (4-serving size) packages instant lemon pudding, prepared according to package directions
1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup finely crushed lemon drop candies (see Note)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed cookies and butter; mix well. Spread into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, forming a crust. Bake 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Spoon the pudding evenly into the pie crust. In a large bowl, combine the whipped topping and crushed candy; mix well.

And you can even put them in a resealable plastic storage bag, seal, and pound with a mallet! Make sure to crush the lemon drops to a very fine powder before mixing with the whipped topping. Otherwise, they'll weigh it down.

1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar, divided
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 1/2 cups whole milk
8 large egg whites

Steps:

  • For curd:
  • Whisk all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Cook over medium-low heat until curd thickens and candy thermometer registers 170°F, stirring constantly, about 7 minutes (do not boil). Pour curd into small bowl. Press plastic wrap onto surface. Chill at least 1 day and up to 3 days.
  • For pistachio crunch:
  • Place large sheet of foil on work surface; butter foil. Combine sugar, butter, and 1/4 cup water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves and butter melts, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush. Increase heat to medium-high and boil until syrup is medium amber color, stirring constantly, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Immediately add baking soda (mixture will foam up), then nuts and stir to blend well. Spread nut mixture onto prepared foil, separating nuts. Cool completely.

Beat in flour mixture alternately with milk in 3 additions each. Using clean dry beaters, beat egg whites in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into batter in 3 additions. Divide batter among prepared pans.
