Ingredients

4 large Meyer lemons, juiced
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
2 1/2 cups water
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 (9-inch) blind baked pastry shell
3 egg whites
2 cups fresh blueberry coulis
Shaker of powdered sugar
8 sprigs of fresh mint

Directions

In a saucepan, combine the lemon juice, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and 2 cups of water. Bring the liquid to a boil. In a small mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, cornstarch and remaining 1/2 cup of water, together. Spoon 1/2 cup of the hot liquid into in the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk the egg mixture into the lemon mixture and bring back to a boil. Cook the mixture for about 4 minutes, or until thick, whisking constantly. Pour the mixture into the pie shell and cool completely. Using an electric mixer, fitted with a whip attachment, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and continue to whip until firm peaks form. Spread the mixture evenly over the pie. Place in the oven until the top is golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Spoon the coulis in the center of each plate. Place a piece of the pie in the center of the sauce. Garnish with powdered sugar and mint.

Strange proportions.
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I haven't actually made this recipe because the proportions seem very strange to me. My other lemon icebox pie recipe calls... for 1/2 cup of lemon juice along with 4 egg yolks. Meyer lemons grow very well in New Orleans and have a much nicer flavor than conventional lemons however, they are very very juicy and can vary greatly in size. One of my large Meyer lemons grown in my yard can yield 1/2 cup of juice, while it can take 3-5 conventional lemons (depending on size) to generate the same amount. This recipe seems like the amount of lemon juice could vary so much from one cook to another that it may take some trial and error to find out just how much lemon juice to use. Read more

Emeril, are you reading?
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This recipe is typical of many Food Network recipes - inaccurate measurements, poor editing, and generally disappointing... results. This is not a recipe for a serious cook. It won't set with just two egg yolks. A vastly better source for a lemon pie is Baking Illustrated.Read more
