Time 3h20m

Yield 5 (5-inch) pies

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups pretzels
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
8 egg yolks
2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups Mexican crema
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla paste
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 lemons, zested
3 lemons, juiced
1 teaspoon chile powder
6 egg whites
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • For the pretzel crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the pretzels, brown sugar and melted butter in a food processor; pulse until finely ground. Press the crust evenly into 5-inch pie molds. Bake for 4 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • For the lemon ice cream: Combine all the ingredients in a large metal bowl. Place over a double boiler and whisk until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Let cool completely, then transfer the custard to an ice cream machine; spin for 20 minutes, until thick. Transfer to the freezer; freeze for 2 hours. Evenly fill each of the pie molds with the ice cream; freeze until ready to top with meringue.
  • For the simple meringue: Combine the egg whites and sugar in a bowl; whisk to stiff peaks.
  • Top the pies with the meringue. Toast the meringue with a kitchen torch, and serve.
