CELEBRATE

FLOWERS

FOR MOM

This Mother’s Day we’re thinking beyond the

bouquet and sending Mom flowers sprinkled on

this luscious ice cream pie. Lemon and ginger are

an irresistibly bright combo, especially in this crisp

double-ginger shortbread crust filled with ice cream

made aromatic by steeping lemon verbena in

milk. (Lemon zest is an equally delicious substitute.) n

EDIBLE PETALS 101

We topped our pie

with phlox and roses,

plus a few lemon

verbena sprigs, but

any edible flowers

will work. Remember:

Not all flowers,

including most florist

flowers, are meant

for consumption.
