Lemon Icebox Cake
Materials:

2 teaspoons grated lemon rind, or finely chopped lemon zest
3 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 graham cracker piecrust
3 egg whites
 
 
Preparation:
 
First,
Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the sweetened condensed milk, the egg yolks, the lemon juice and the lemon rind in a medium bowl. Use a fork or a whisk to mix everything together evenly and well. Pour the filling into the graham cracker piecrust, and bake at 325 degrees F. for 25 minutes, until the pie is firm and set.
 
secondly,
Set aside on a cooling rack or folded kitchen towel and cool to room temperature. Then cover and chill until serving time. If using whipped cream, make it and add it to the top of the pie within about 2 hours of serving time; the closer to serving time, the better.
 
 
Or,
If you are making meringue, set pie aside while you prepare it.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the egg whites in a medium bowl, and use an electric mixer to beat them at medium speed until they are bubbly, about 1 minute.
Continue beating, scraping bowl often, until they turn white and thicken up like pure cream.
Then, add about 1 tablespoon of the sugar and continue beating until they swell up and begin holding rounded shapes.
Add the rest of the sugar gradually, while beating the egg whites. Continue beating until you have a rich thick, shiny  meringue which holds curly little peaks.
Spread on the pie, making sure to seal it to the edges of the crust all the way around. Mound it up in the middle and use the back of a spoon or a butter knife to pull out little curls and swirls, or whatever pleases you.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the meringue is handsomely browned.  Cool to room temperature; then cover carefully and chill until shortly before serving time.

BENEFİTS OF LEMON ZEST

Today we will talk about the lemon peel and grated One of the easiest ways to infuse a citrus flavor into a baked good of some kind is to add lemon, lime or orange zest to it.  Zest is not the same thing as the peel, or rind, of a lemon, although it is a part of the peel. The zest is the colorful outer layer of the citrus peel. The soft, white part of the peel just underneath the zest is the pith. The reason that the zest is so desireable is that it contains lots of essential oils that make for a strong, pleasant flavor. The pith has a bitter flavor, with very little citrus taste when eaten on its own. The pith can actually give your baked good a bitter or slightly unpleasant taste if you incorporate it into a recipe (there are some recipes that call for using a whole fruit, but those usually compensate with extra sugar), so it is important to remove only the zest from the citrus rind when you are using it. The zest can be removed very carefully with a sharp pairing knife, ...
