lemon freeze with raspberry sauce
*this recipe needs to be made at least 24 hours in advance
preheat oven to 350 degrees
for the crust mix together:
1 1/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
1/3 c. sugar
6 T. butter, melted
put into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. (you can also use a 9″ x ” square or glass pan, just be sure to spray the bottom with pam.) bake for 10 minutes. cool completely.
for the lemon cream filling mix:
3 c. heavy whipping cream
all the lemon zest you can get from 2 large lemons, very finely grated (no white part)
lemon juice from 2 large lemons
1 1/2 c. sugar
first grate the zest off the lemons, before you cut & juice them. take out the seeds & pulp from the lemon juice. using an electric mixer, beat the above ingredients until blended & slightly thickened. (you do not want to make whipped cream.) pour into springform (or pyrex) pan over cooled graham cracker crust. cover with foil & freeze overnight, or up to a month.
do not thaw before serving (unless using the pyrex pan… then you want to let it thaw just a touch, so that the graham cracker crust doesn’t stick). when ready to serve, make raspberry sauce. remove sides of springform pan & cut into pie slices & drizzle raspberry sauce over individual servings. serves 10-12.
raspberry sauce:
(best if made immediately prior to serving)
1 (12 oz.) bag of frozen raspberries
3/4 c. water
3/4 c. sugar
put all of the above ingredients in a blender & puree.
yum! yum! yum!

Um, yeah. I think I could totally eat the whole thing!
It sounds so refreshing.
YUM!
sounds so good!
Sounds yummy! The diet is going…alright I guess. I’m not too strict with it now. We don’t think it’s an allergy problem so I’m gradually starting to eat more and more of what I used to. It was rough for awhile though. I never knew what to eat.
This has nothing to do with this post (even though it does sound yummy!!) I just wanted to say thanks for the comment you left on my page… Thanks for thinking of us, it means a lot to hear that from other people!
my sil & niece just made this for a family get-together and it was soo yummy. they have yet to give me the recipe…so THANKS!
Your market must have restocked the lemons.
Mmmmmm… couldn’t you just ship me some – overnite or something? LOL!

I wish you were my neighbor. I’d drop by daily to see what’s cooking.
