Number Of Ingredients 9

3 Egg Whites
1/4 tsp Cream of Tarter
1 C Extra Fine Sugar
4 Egg Yolks
1/2 C Sugar
3 Tbs Lemon Juice
1 Tbs Lemon Peel
1/8 tsp Salt
2 C Heavy Whipping Cream

Steps:

  • Whip Egg Whites with Cream of Tartar. When the white start to thicken, add the sugar one tablespoon at a time and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  • Spray a 9 inch pie tin with some cooking spray and fill the tin with the Meringue.
  • Bake at 350 def F for 30 minutes and leave it in the oven for several hours to continue drying and cooling - overnight is best.
  • Place the yolks, sugar, lemon juice and peel, and salt into a small saucepan and cook over medium heat. Stir the mixture until it reached 160 deg F. Reduce heat, and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to another bowl to cool completely.
  • Once cool, make Whipped Cream. Stir in 1/2 of the whipped cream into the lemon curd and spread into shell. Top with remaining whip cream and serve.
