LEMON MASCARPONE CREAM PIE

I hope everyone enjoy the Independence Day holiday yesterday. The hubs was off work both Monday and Tuesday and while I had some things to do, we did get to enjoy some nice time with friends and even saw fireworks both nights.

We’ve had more rain in the last week or so than we’ve had in a long time, so getting outside was tricky. Fortunately, we got out on the lake at about midday Monday and didn’t have any more rain for the rest of the day. The longest stretch of pretty weather all weekend I think. It was really nice to relax a bit.

And then of course there’s the good food. I’ve been quite healthy lately, but I gave myself a bit of a break and enjoyed some tasty treats. This pie would have been great to have on hand too, but it was made a few weeks ago. Time to make it again I guess!

The pie begins with a classic graham cracker crust. It’s a nice, thick crust that’s sweetened a bit with a little sugar. It’s my favorite way to make a graham cracker crust. I personally think the crust is a little bland without it. No surprise there – the more sugar, the better. 🙂 I baked the crust to make sure it holds together well, but you don’t have to if you’d prefer not.

The filling itself is no bake and very easy to put together. It starts with some sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and lemon zest. Combine them and set aside to make the cream mixture.

INGREDIENTS:
CRUST
1 1/2 cups (201g) graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp (26g) sugar
7 tbsp (98g) butter, melted

LEMON FILLING
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 tbsp lemon zest
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup (115g) powdered sugar
12 oz mascarpone cheese
yellow icing color or food coloring, if desired


LEMON WHIPPED CREAM
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup (58g) powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon zest
Lemon slices
Mint leaves, optional

DIRECTIONS:
1. Grease an 8 or 9 inch pie pan and preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter in a medium bowl and mix until combined.
3. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan, then bake for 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
4. In a medium bowl combine the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and lemon zest then set aside.
5. In another large bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Whip on high speed until very stiff peaks form.
6. Add the mascarpone cheese to the whipped cream and whip on medium speed just until combined, then continue gently folding together until well combined.
7. Add about 1/3 of the lemon mixture to the whipped cream and gently fold to combine.
8. Add the remaining lemon mixture and gently fold to combine.
9. Add a little yellow icing color or food coloring, if desired.
10. Add the filling mixture to the cooled pie crust and refrigerate until firm, 4-5 hours.
11. To make the lemon whipped cream, add all four ingredients to a mixer bowl and whip until stiff peaks form.
12. Top the pie with some lemon slices and mint leaves and pipe swirls of whipped cream around the edge.
13. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
