Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Pie dish

Ingredients

  • 4 large Fresh lemons
  • 200 g Sugar
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 75 g Butter Unsalted, cubed
  • 50 g Cornstarch
  • 250 ml Water Cold
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pack Graham cracker crust Prepared

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a saucepan, whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add water and lemon juice slowly. Cook over medium heat until thick. Stir often to avoid lumps. Use a whisk to keep it smooth.
  • Take the pan off the heat. Stir in butter, egg yolks, and vanilla until silky. The yellow color is beautiful. Pour it into the crust and spread evenly.
  • Bake the crust for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning. While it bakes, whip the egg whites into stiff peaks. This is where the magic happens.
  • Spread the whipped egg whites over the hot filling. Make sure it touches the crust edges to seal. This stops shrinking. Bake until golden brown. Let it cool before slicing.

Notes

Lemon Meringue Pie combines tangy and sweet flavors, making it an irresistible choice for any occasion. Bake it to enjoy a delightful dessert experience.
