Blackberry-Lemon Ice Cream Pie Recipe | EatingWell

Total:5 hrs 40 mins Servings:8

Ingredients

  • 2 cups coarsely crumbled gingersnap cookies
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 cup non fat vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 3 cups blackberries, divided
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest

Method

  • To prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
  • Process cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Add oil and process until well combined. Using your fingertips or the back of a spoon, press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake until just set, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • To make the filling: Whip cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until starting to thicken. Add sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in yogurt.
  • Clean out the bowl of the food processor and puree 2 cups blackberries. Pour the puree through a sieve into the yogurt-cream mixture, pressing on the solids to strain out as much of the puree as possible. Add lemon zest and gently fold the flavorings into the yogurt-cream mixture.
  • Spread the flavored yogurt-cream mixture into the cooled crust. Top with the remaining 1 cup blackberries. Freeze until very firm, at least 5 hours. To serve, let the pie stand at room temperature until softened slightly, about 15 minutes, before slicing.
