STEP 1
Melt butter in 2-quart saucepan.
STEP 2
Stir together 3/4 cup sugar and egg yolks in bowl. Gradually stir sugar mixture into melted butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 7-9 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in lemon juice and lemon zest. Cover; refrigerate.
STEP 3
Heat oven to 475°F.

Combine flour and salt in bowl; cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in enough water with fork just until flour is moistened. Shape into ball.
STEP 5
Roll out ball of dough on lightly floured surface into 12-inch circle. Fold into quarters. Place dough into 9-inch deep dish pie pan; unfold dough, pressing firmly against bottom and sides. Trim crust to 1/2 inch from edge of pan. Crimp or flute edge. Prick crust all over with fork. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely.
STEP 6
Spread 2 cups ice cream in bottom of baked pie shell. Freeze 1 hour.
STEP 7
Spread half of lemon mixture onto ice cream in pie shell; freeze 1 hour.

Spread remaining ice cream on top of lemon mixture. Top with remaining lemon mixture. Freeze 1 hour.
STEP 9
Heat oven to 425°F.
STEP 10
Combine egg whites, 10 tablespoons sugar, water and cream of tartar in heavy 2-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, beating at low speed, 9-11 minutes or until mixture reaches 160°F. Pour into bowl; beat at high speed until stiff peaks form.
STEP 11
Spread meringue carefully onto frozen pie, sealing edges of meringue to crust. Bake 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned.
STEP 12
Freeze 6 hours or overnight until firm.
Remove pie from freezer 30 minutes before serving time; let stand at room temperature. Pie will be easier to cut into serving wedges.
