Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pecans
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 cups Vanilla ice cream
- 0.5 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 4 for garnish Lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, pulse the pecans until finely ground. Add the flour, granulated sugar, and butter, and process until the mixture forms a crumbly dough.
Press the pecan mixture evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened vanilla ice cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the lemon ice cream mixture into the cooled pecan crust, spreading it evenly.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with lemon slices for a decorative touch.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy this zesty, creamy dessert!
