Ingredients

Pan Preparation

Parchment paper

Meringue Shell

3 Land O Lakes® All-Natural Egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons sugar

Lemon Butter Sauce

1 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter
3 Land O Lakes® All-Natural Egg yolks
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest

Ice Cream

1 pint (2 cups) vanilla ice cream
Lemon slices, if desired

Directions

Heat oven to 300°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in small bowl at high speed until foamy (1 to 2 minutes). Continue beating, gradually adding sugar, until glossy and stiff peaks form (2 to 4 minutes).

Spoon 8 (3-inch) meringue circles onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Build up sides to make a bowl shape on each circle. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until meringues are golden. Turn oven off. Leave meringues in oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, combine 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, butter and egg yolks in 2-quart saucepan with wire whisk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is slightly thickened (8 to 10 minutes). Stir in lemon zest. Refrigerate 1 hour.

To serve, spoon ice cream and sauce into each meringue shell. Garnish with lemon slices, if desired. Serve immediately.

Bring on the Sunshine and Bust Out the Grill for Bacon Onion Cheeseburgers

Bring on the Sunshine and Bust Out the Grill for Bacon Onion Cheeseburgers

I am a lucky girl that my grill master husband is willing to brave all kinds of nasty weather in order to sear our meat for us. Nothing, however, is quite like grilling in the summertime! The balmy weather, the casual atmosphere as you chat with friends on the patio, the smell of your dinner cooking—mmm! It all comes together to make some of our best meal experiences.
