Meet the Cook: This pie is a nice light and refreshing finish to a summer picnic or patio supper. I like that it can be made ahead. Married for 35 years, I've always enjoyed cooking. We have two grown sons and three small granddaughters. -Judith Wilke, Dousman, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • Dash salt
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 pints vanilla ice cream, softened, divided

Whisk a small amount of sugar mixture into eggs; return all to the pan. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture reaches 160° or is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Refrigerate until completely cooled.
  • Spread half of ice cream into the crust; freeze for 1 hour or until firm. Cover with half of the lemon mixture; freeze for 1 hour or until firm. Repeat layers. Cover and freeze for several hours or overnight.

PS, I mean I double the whole lemon mix--not just the lemon ingredient!

I can't believe no one has rate this yet! It is the BEST EVER dessert, lemon pie, etc. I make this frequently for guests as it is so impressive. I have never NOT been asked for the recipe! I hate to give it out though as it is such a star! Seriously though, this is incredible and worth the time. I usually double the lemon or the lemon layers are very thin. The lemon is far richer than normal lemon pie, so it isn't as good if you substitute as store bought mix. Also, don't quadruple this and use it to make traditional lemon pie! Way too sweet then!!!
