Lime Sour Cream Pie - this is very good, although I cannot remember the
source!
This can be made with lemons (especially Meyer lemons). It can also be
made
with other kinds of crusts - I kind of prefer graham cracker crusts to a
standard pie shell.
Lime-Sour Cream Pie
1 baked 9-inch pie shell
3/4 cup sugar
3 Tbsp cornstarch
freshly grated peel of 2 large limes (about 2 1/2 tsp.)
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1 cup half and half
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup dairy sour cream
1 cup whipping cream
1-2 Tbsp confectioner's sugar
Combine 3/4 cup sugar with cornstarch and lime peel in medium saucepan and
mix well. Add lime juice and stir until smooth; blend in half and half and
butter. Place over medium heat and stir until mixture thickens and starts
to boil, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, stirring
occasionally. Fold in sour cream. Turn mixture into shell.
Combine whipping cream and 1-2 Tbsp sugar in medium bowl, and whip to soft
peaks. Spread on top of pie and serve.
This makes 6-8 servings.
