Working with meringue may seem intimidating, but you'll love the end result. The meringue shell is great filled with fresh strawberries and whipped cream too.

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 eggs, separated
5/8 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 c sugar
FILLING INGREDIENTS
1/2 c sugar
1 Tbsp grated lemon peel
3 Tbsp lemon juice
3 reserved egg yolks
1 c whipping cream, whipped

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 275 degrees.
  • 2. Grease 9-inch pie pan. In small bowl, beat egg whites-use 4 if you have a larger pie pan (reserve yolks) with cream of tartar until frothy.
  • 3. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating continuously until stiff peaks form.
  • 4. Spread or pour over bottom of prepared pie pan. Meringue puffs up during baking, so spread only to the edge of pan.
  • 5. Bake for 60 minutes. Turn oven off. Leave crust in oven to cool and dry. Don't rush things or your bottom crust will be soggy.
  • 6. In small saucepan, combine filling ingredients except whipped cream.
  • 7. Cook over low heat until thickened stirring constantly.
  • 8. Cool. Fold into whipped cream. Pour into meringue shell.
  • 9. Refrigerate overnight. If desired, garnish with thin lemon slices or grated lemon peel.
