Ingredients

Lemon curd:

2 large eggs

2 large egg yolks

6 tablespoons unsalted butter ( I've used salted before)

1 cup sugar

6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

3 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel

pinch of salt

Crust:

1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup butter melted

3 cups vanilla ice cream, slightly softened and divided

Meringue:

4 large egg whites ( room temp)

pinch of cream of tarter

6 tablespoons sugar

Directions

Lemon curd: whisk eggs and egg yolks in medium bowl

Melt butter in medium metal bowl set over large saucepan of simmering water.

Whisk in sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel, and salt, gradually whisk in egg mixture.

Whisk until thick (about 8 minutes)

Transfer to small bowl , press plastic wrap on top of lemon curd

chill 4 hours ( can be made 2 days ahead, but keep chilled)

Crust: oven 400

Mix pecans, sugar and butter until moist

Press into bottom and up sides of 9 inch glass pie plate

Bake until lightly toasted( about 12 minutes)

crust will slide down plate so take back of spoon and press crust back into place

cool crust and then freeze for 30 minutes

Dollop 1 1/2 cups soft ice cream over crust and spread into even layer

Spread lemon curd over ice cream and freeze until firm ( about 2 hours)

Dollop 1 1/2 cups softened ice cream over lemon curd, spread into even layer

Covert and freeze until firm(about 2 hours)

(sometimes I omit the top layer of icecream and just put it on the bottom)

Meringue::: use electric mixer, mix egg whites in medium bowl until frothy.

Beat in cream of tarter

With mixer running slowly add sugar

Beat until soft peaks form

Spoon meringue over pie, spreading to seal at edges

Using kitchen butane torch toaste meringue until golden in spots or place pie in preheated 500 oven until golden, about 3 minutes

Cut into wedges and serve immediately

Pie can be made day ahead and frozen

ENJOY!
