blueberry condensed milk cookie cookies dessert ginger lemon pie recipe shortbread spring sweets Walkers Shortbread

Lemon-Blueberry Pie with Ginger-Lemon Shortbread Crust, thanks to Walkers Shortbread!



Disclosure: I am a Blog Ambassador for Walkers Shortbread. I was provided free product to try and was not compensated for this post. All thoughts are my own.

About a month ago I was contacted by a Walkers Shortbread representative to be one of a few select bloggers chosen to represent their product by being a Blog Ambassador. My first reaction? Flattered!

Of course I’m familiar with Walkers Shortbread products, I’ve seen them in the cookie aisle at most stores as long as I can remember. Who could miss the Scottish tartan plaid on the packaging?

I decided to do some more digging on the company I’d possibly represent, and became even more impressed with them and especially flattered that they chose me as one of the bloggers to represent their brand!

Company Information

  • The family-owned company still bakes its shortbread, traditional cookies, cakes, oatcakes and puddings in the secluded village of Aberlour in the Highlands of Scotland. The company was founded in 1898 by Joseph Walker, and continues to be actively run by the Walkers family.
  • Walkers Shortbread is the leading brand of food exported from Scotland.

Ingredients

  • Walkers’ classic shortbread is made from only four pure and simple ingredients: butter, flour, sugar and a pinch of salt. Walkers Shortbread uses the very best ingredients that it can procure for its recipes.
  • Our Shortbread is baked with no genetically modified ingredients, artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or hydrogenated fats.
  • No bovine growth hormones or antibiotics are given to the free range grass fed dairy cows that produce the rich, creamy milk that becomes the butter used in our shortbread recipe.
  • 100% vegetarian; no animal fats are used in Walkers Shortbread recipes.
  • Walkers shortbread, cookies and oatcakes are certified Kosher OUD by the Orthodox Union.
  • Walkers Shortbread products are sold in supermarkets and gourmet, specialty, drug, club and on-line retailers nationwide and via the company’s website (www.walkersus.com).

In addition to all of that (as if it’s not enough!) they have also had a successful partnership with the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®). This is especially impressive for me, because I am a dog owner and dog lover. We own dogs that are misunderstood and do get mistreated, so I feel this partnership is a dream! I’ve talked many times about how I prefer to make things from scratch, less preservatives and additives and to find a company that’s been around as long as they have, and still uses pure ingredients and keeps it handmade is my kind of people!

As a Blog Ambassador, I will receive shipments of product with a theme. I can create recipes using these products and share them with you. I will also have contests, giveaways, and coupon codes that I get to share as well! Doesn’t that sound fun!? Stay tuned, at the end of the post I have a limited time coupon code to share! Take a look at the special Pinterest board Walkers has set up for the various recipes their Blog Ambassadors share!

Once I received my first shipment, I was impressed by the variety of flavors. This is their Spring shipment, “Sweet Celebrations for Mother’s Day and Spring”. I get to taste these delicious cookies and think up some recipes that would be great for Mother’s Day and Spring! The flavors are:
  • Shortbread Fingers
  • Shortbread Highlanders
  • Raspberry Thins
  • Chocolate Chip Shortbread
  • Vanilla Shortbread
  • Lemon Thins
  • Stem Ginger Shortbread
They all sounded so amazing, I didn’t know where to start. After a lot of self-restraint (and hiding these gems from the kids!) I decided to make a light dessert that tastes decidedly Springtime-ish (is that a word?). 
I decided to pair the Lemon Thins with the Stem Ginger Shortbread cookies to make a pie crust. The filling would consist of lemon and blueberries. How much more Spring can you get than that?
Since the cookies are simple with few ingredients, I decided this recipe should be no different. It’s easy to put together, requires very little baking, and it’s light and sweet with all the flavors complimenting one another. The pie should be chilled 24 hours before it’s cut into, this gives the flavors a chance to combine and balance each other out. The texture is similar to a cheesecake, right down to the crust. I like that the little chunks of ginger add something special to this dessert.
Ginger-Lemon Shortbread Pie Crust Ingredients:
  • 1 box (12 cookies) Walkers Shortbread Lemon Thins
  • 1 box (12 cookies) Walkers Stem Ginger Shortbread Cookies
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
Lemon-Blueberry Pie Filling Ingredients:
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 (14 ounce can) condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries (about 9 ounces)
Lemon Infused Whipped Cream Ingredients:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • zest from 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Start by preheating the oven to 400 degrees.
Place both boxes of cookies in a bowl (or food processor, blender, whatever way you decide to crumble them). I used a bowl and just crumbled by hand, since they are shortbread and soft, they were easy to get to a fine crumb.
Once it’s crumbly, take 2 tablespoons of the shortbread crumbles and reserve, this will be used to sprinkle over the finished product.
Once crumbled mix the two flavors of cookies together well. Add the sugar, then the melted butter.
Now mix the butter well into the sugar and cookie crumbs, being sure that all crumbs are the same texture.
Press the shortbread crumbs into a pie plate, making sure it’s even all around.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5-8 minutes, just until golden.
Set aside to cool while you prepare the filling.
Now reset the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, add the can of condensed milk and then the egg yolks.
Whisk thoroughly (D-Man decided to help me).
Now add the lemon juice and lemon zest, and continue to whisk together until well combined.
Now, add the fresh (and rinsed) blueberries, folding them gently into the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the crust and spread so it’s even.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. The filling will be firm, similar to a cheesecake.
Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. This serves well the next day, so give 12-24 hours to chill.
Shortly before it’s ready to serve, prepare the whipped cream. Combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and lemon zest. Beat on high until stiff peaks form. 
Serve with a dallop (or two) of the lemon infused whipped cream, a sprinkle of the shortbread crumbs and use a lemon wedge and a few blueberries as garnish.
The Ginger-Lemon Shortbread Crust was divine, and a perfect compliment to the Lemon-Blueberry Filling.
Enjoy!

    I want ALL of this! I want to eat every single step. (Okay, maybe not the one with the raw eggs, but most of the others.)

    How pathetic am I that I like to come to your page because it’s like porn for a fat girl. I love all the pictures. There is NO way I could make this recipe, but some of the other ones are actually doable for this girl. 🙂

      Hi Lisa, you’re too funny! (The eggs are actually delicious, my mom raises chickens herself so I get lots of big brown eggs for free and they taste so much better than white!)

      I’m a fat girl too, haha! It’s honestly a pretty easy recipe, I think the hardest part is packing the crumbs into the pie plate evenly. Let me know if you ever try anything!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
