What I love about this pie is the lemon custard filling. It is so thick and rich and sweet with this tart edge that cuts through some of that sweetness. And the filling recipe makes a TON – just look at how high that filling is piled into the pastry crust! – so there’s no skimpy, barely-there lemon flavor here. It packs a punch, which is what I want my sweet-tart lemon pie to do.
And the meringue is a mile-high, sweet and light and airy with a hint of sugar and lots of whipped egg whites for a fluffy cloud that tops the lemon custard. After the meringue is made, you simply spread it high onto the custard pie, sealing the edges of the pie with the meringue and creating little peaks and valleys with your rubber spatula so they get toasted evenly in the oven.
All in all, this Lemon Meringue Pie is not only gorgeous, it’s easy and most importantly, DELICIOUS! I know you’re going to love it!
