Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)
- 2 large lemons (zested and juiced)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and cornstarch. Stir well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and water until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and stir in the butter.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Pour the lemon filling into the pre-baked pie crust. Spread the meringue over the top, making sure to seal the edges to prevent shrinking.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until the meringue is golden brown.
- In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm.
- In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat until the blackberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Strain if desired to remove seeds.
- Slice the lemon meringue pie and serve with a scoop of homemade ice cream. Drizzle the blackberry sauce over the top for a burst of flavor.
This Lemon Meringue Pie with Homemade Ice Cream and Blackberry Sauce is not only a feast for the eyes but also a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Enjoy this sweet treat with friends or family, and savor the joy of creating something special from scratch!
