I made Aunt Bee’s Frozen Lemon Pie from the Andy Griffith Show.
1 c finely crushed Post Grape-Nuts flakes
1/4 c butter, melted
2 egg yolks
1/2 c sugar, divided
dash of salt
1/2 t grated lemon rind
1/4 c lemon juice
3/4 c heavy cream
2 egg whites
Mix cereal and butter. Press 3/4 c firmly on bottom and sides of an 8″ pie pan. Blend egg yolks and 1/4 c sugar in top of double boiler. Mix in salt, lemon rind and lemon juice. Cook and stir over boiling water until slightly thickened, about 5 min. Cool. Whip cream just until soft peaks will form and fold in lemon mix. Beat egg whites until foamy throughout. Add 1/4 c sugar gradually and continue beating until stiff peaks will form. Fold in cream mix and pour into crust. Sprinkle with remaining cereal mix. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
Tips:
If you can’t find Grape Nut Flakes in your area you can substitute with bran flakes.
1 3/4 cup flaked uncrushed cereal = 1 cup cereal crushed.
For the topping, take 1/4 cup off after the cereal is mixed with the melted butter.
