Lemon Meringue Pie Milkshake

Yesterday was National Ice Cream Day, and I’m sad to say I missed the boat on that one.  We had a belated treat to celebrate the occasion instead.  Lemon meringue pie milkshakes!  Really, really good milkshakes!  These have all the tart sweetness that you get from a big slice of pie, but they’re nice and cold and frosty.  Just perfect for ending a hot summer day.

Recipe:  Lemon Meringue Pie Milkshake

(from Just a Pinch)

1/2 c. milk
1 Tbsp. grated lemon zest, plus more for garnish
fresh juice from 1/2 of a lemon
3 heaping Tbsp. lemon curd, homemade or store bought
approximately 1 3/4 c. vanilla ice cream
whipped cream
pizzelle cookie for garnish, optional

In blender, combine milk, lemon zest, juice, and curd.  Blend for several seconds to thoroughly combine.  Add ice cream and blend until smooth.  Pour into tall glass and top with whipped cream.  Garnish with grated lemon zest and pizzelle cookie.
