lemon Iced Pie

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.

Possible to Lose Weight with Lemonade!

The Promise Celebrities including Beyoncé have used this diet. But it's far from the principles of healthy eating, and the results aren't likely to last.
