LEMON FLUFF PIE



Lemon Fluff Pie image

Lemon Fluff Pie made with luscious lemon curd and whipped cream with a lemon cookie crust. Fabulous straight from the fridge or as a lemony frozen dessert.

Provided by Portlandia Pie Lady

Number Of Ingredients 6

2-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream ((For pie filling and for garnish))
3 tablespoons meringue powder
1/2 cup pure cane powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/4 cups lemon curd ((If you are making your own see the link in the blog post above for instructions.))
1 9-inch prepared lemon cookie crust or graham cracker crust

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand-up mixer (I like KitchenAid) add the heavy whipping cream, meringue powder, powered sugar and vanilla.
  • Beat at low speed for about 2 to 3 minutes which will help the meringue powder & sugar to dissolve.
  • Increase speed of mixer to high and beat until stiff peaks form. This can take 6 to 9 minutes, depending on mixer.
  • Remove 2 cups of whipped cream and save in the fridge for the topping/garnish.
  • With the remaining whipped cream add the lemon curd and beat 1 to 2 minutes on medium speed to thoroughly combine.
  • Spread the filling into the prepared crust, tent with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours before serving.
  • Pipe on the extra whipped cream before serving.

Categories     Chiffon Pie

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup hot cocoa mix
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup shortening, chilled
3 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 drop red food coloring
¼ cup finely chopped pecans
3 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup boiling water
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
¼ cup cold water
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon zest
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 egg whites
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
¼ cup shaved sweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • To make the chocolate crust, combine the flour, hot cocoa mix, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk, vanilla, and food coloring and toss with a fork until the flour mixture is moistened. Roll the crust out between two sheets of waxed paper and transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan. Trim or crimp the edges. Prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  • Bake the crust in the preheated oven until the crust is set and the edges have darkened slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on a rack. Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and set aside.
  • To make the filling, mix the cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup sugar together in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in the boiling water. Heat the mixture over high heat until the mixture boils. Reduce the heat and simmer until the filling is thick and clear, 8 to 10 minutes. Gradually whisk a portion of the hot filling into the beaten egg yolks. Return the yolk mixture to the saucepan and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in the rehydrated gelatin mixture and mix until dissolved. Blend in the butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice; remove from heat.
  • Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Gradually add the 3 tablespoons sugar, continuing to beat until medium-stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly.
  • Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold 1/3 of the beaten egg whites (meringue) into the hot filling mixture. Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining meringue, folding just until incorporated. Allow the mixture to cool for 25 minutes; the filling should mound from a spoon when dropped back into the bowl.
  • Whip the cream until stiff. Fold the whipped cream into the filling and gently spread the filling in the cooled baked pie shell. Sprinkle the pie with the chocolate shavings and refrigerate until serving.
