Blueberry Ice Cream Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Scrape off and discard the frosting from the cupcakes; crumble the cupcakes into crumbs. Press all but 1/4 cup crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Freeze 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, let the ice cream and sorbet soften at room temperature, about 15 minutes. Spread the ice cream evenly over the crust using an offset spatula or rubber spatula; spread the sorbet on top. (Return the pie to the freezer between layers if the ice cream gets too soft.) Freeze while you make the whipped cream.
• Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Top the pie with the whipped cream and sprinkle the reserved cupcake crumbs around the edge. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Combine the butter, flour and salt in a food processor. Pulse, pulse, pulse until the mixture looks like finely grated cheese. Add half of the ice water and pulse again. The mixture should start to come together to form a rough ball; if it still seems dry, add the remaining ice water and pulse until it has formed a rough ball. Remove the mixture from the food processor to a clean work surface and form it into 2 discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (This can be done a few days in advance.)
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine blueberries, lemon zest and juice, sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Set aside.
• Remove dough from the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before using to allow it to soften up a bit. Dust the dough and a work surface with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll one disc of dough out, rotating the dough a quarter turn after each roll and dusting lightly with flour if it feels tacky, into an even 11-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick.
• Butter a 9-inch pie plate and lay the dough in the plate. (There should be about 1/2-inch dough hanging over the sides. If there is more than that, trim it with a sharp pair of kitchen shears.) Fold the dough underneath itself around the rim of the pie plate and pinch or crimp into desired shape.
• Roll out second disc of dough and slice into 1 1/2-inch strips.
• Fill the pie with blueberries and lattice the dough strips on top. Crimp the edges to seal. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 195 degrees F, about 50 minutes. Allow to cool and set, about 1 hour. Serve topped with Meyer Lemon Ice Cream.
• Prepare a large bowl of ice water and set aside. Combine the cream, vanilla extract, lemon zest and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, turn off the heat and stir in lemon juice. Combine the eggs and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a small bowl and beat to a homogeneous consistency.
• Strain the cream mixture, then whisk a third of the cream mixture into the egg mixture. Immediately whisk the egg mixture back into the remaining cream mixture.
• Chill the mixture over the ice water bath.
• Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's directions. Transfer to a container and freeze, 2 hours.
• Special equipment: an ice cream machine

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°. Bake cookie crust 5 minutes. Cool completely, about 20 minutes. Spread 1 cup of the vanilla ice cream over bottom of cooled crust. Freeze 30 minutes.
• Spread lemon sherbet over ice cream. Freeze 30 minutes.
• Spread remaining ice cream over sherbet. Freeze at least 4 hours until firm.
• Mix blueberries, preserves and lemon juice in small bowl; refrigerate until serving. Serve 1 tablespoon blueberry mixture over each slice of pie. Garnish with lemon peel.

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Combine first 3 ingredients in processor and chop finely, using on/off turns. Transfer to bowl. Mix in butter. Press firmly into bottom and up sides (but not rim) of 10-inch glass pie plate. Freeze 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake crust until center is golden, covering edges with foil if browning too quickly, about 19 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. If edges have slipped, gently press into place. Cool almond crust completely.
• Make filling:
• Soften ice cream in refrigerator until spreadable but not melted. Spread in crust. Smooth surface. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover tightly.)
• Whip cream, sugar and cardamom until stiff peaks form. Spread over pie. Top with berries and serve.
