Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups graham-cracker crumbs
  • 3 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream
  • 2/3 cup apricot preserves, sieved
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Directions

  1. Combine crumbs, 3 Tbsp. sugar and melted butter in a small bowl; press mixture evenly and firmly on bottom and sides of 9-inch pie pan; freeze shell.

  2. Soften ice cream just enough to spread evenly in crumb crust; freeze.

  3. Blend preserves and lemon juice; spread over ice cream; freeze.

  4. Just before serving, heat oven to 450 degrees. Beat egg whites until frothy; beat in 1/4 cup sugar, a Tablespoon at a time; until stiff. Swirl over pie, sealing to edge. Place on board for insulation in baking. Bake 2 or 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve at once.
