Time 2h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Two 8-ounce containers lemon curd
2 lemons, zested and juiced
Pinch of fine salt
2 cups frozen whipped topping, such as Cool Whip, thawed
Shortbread cookies, for serving
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the dip: Combine the lemon curd, lemon zest and juice and salt in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and combined, about 2 minutes. Fold in the whipped topping with a spatula. Transfer the filling to a 9-inch pie plate and refrigerate, covered, 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • For the meringue topping: Beat the egg whites and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form, about 4 minutes. While beating, add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Spoon large dollops of meringue onto the chilled pie. Use a kitchen torch to evenly brown the meringue peaks. Serve with shortbread cookies for dipping.
