Equipment

  • Rolling pin
  • Low pie mold
  • Stand mixer or hand whisk
  • Spatula
  • Grater for lemon zest
  • Bain-marie setup (heatproof bowl over simmering water)

Notes

Feel free to substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a richer flavor. Fresh lemons are preferable for the best taste, but bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch. For vegan options, swap butter with coconut oil and replace egg whites with aquafaba. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. For best results, do not freeze the meringue as it can become watery upon thawing. Enjoy the dessert at summer gatherings, parties, or even for a casual treat at home.
