- I made this by mistake this weekend and it was yummy!
-
- The dessert tasted very similar to the Pay Helado de Limon which is
- served in VIPS in Mexico.
-
- For the crumb crust:
-
- 150g ginger cookies (eg ginger snaps)
- 80g unsalted butte
-
- For the filling:
-
- Juice of two lemons
- Rind of three lemons
- 1 tsp gelatine powder
- 150g greek yoghurt
- 150g double (heavy) cream
- 1 egg white
- 4 (100g) tbsps clear honey
- 225g cream cheese
-
- For the topping:
-
- 1 egg white
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
-
- 1) Crumb the ginger cookies and melt the butter
- 2) Mix the cookie crubs and the melted butter. Press the mixture into a 9
- inch diameter deep pie or flan dish. Chill in fridge for at least one
- hour or in freezer for no more than 15 minutes.
- 3) Juice the lemons and warm the juice in a saucepan. Sprinkle the
- gelatine over the warmed juice and stir until dissolved. Allow to cool
- for 10 minutes.
- 4) Mix the yoghurt, cream cheese and honey together
- 5) In a separate bowl, whip the cream lightly until soft peaks begin to form.
- 6) In a separate bowl, whip the egg white until stiff peaks form.
- 7) Fold the whipped cream and beaten egg white into the yoghurt, cheese
- and honey mixture.
- 8) Stir in first the lemon rind and then the lemon juice/gelatine
- mixture, taking care not to deflate the mix.
- 9) Pour into the crumb base and freeze (takes about four hours)
- NB THIS WILL NOT SET! IT MUST FREEZE LIKE ICE-CREAM!
- 10) Before serving, beat another egg white until stiff, adding the
- spoonful of sugar and beating further until the egg white is glossy.
- 11) Spread this thinly over the pie filling and then place under a heated
- grill for just as long as it takes to brown slightly.
- 12) Remove from heat and leave at room temperature for filling to soften
- for 10-15 minutes. Serve.
