Mile high to rival the pie in any great American diner. Our meringue is cooked and totally safe.
This is somewhat like a toasted marshmallow on top of lemon pudding.

lemon meringue pie
Preheat oven to 325°F. Have the prebaked fl aky pastry
crust ready to fi ll. When making Lemon Meringue Pie, it
is important that the fi lling be hot when topped with the
meringue before baking to prevent the meringue from
shrinking. Have a saucepan ready with 1 inch of simmer-
ing water. The pan should be able to accommodate the
Cuisinart
™
mixing bowl without allowing the bottom of
the bowl to touch the water.
To make the lemon fi lling, place the granulated sugar,
cornstarch and fl our in a 2½-quart saucepan and stir.
While stirring, add the water and stir until smooth. Place
over medium heat and cook until slightly thickened,
about 2 minutes. Whisking constantly, add about one
half of the hot mixture to the egg yolks. Stir the tem-
pered egg yolks into the rest of the liquid and place over
medium heat, cooking until thickened and just beginning
to bubble, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the butter and stir
until blended. Stir in the lemon juice and zest. Stir until
completely blended. Cover until ready to fi ll pie.
To make the meringue, stir the cornstarch into the boiling
water and reserve. Place the egg whites, 2 tablespoons
of the granulated sugar, the 2 tablespoons water, and the
cream of tartar in the Cuisinart
™
mixing bowl and stir until
smooth. Place over the pan of simmering water and stir
constantly with a spotlessly clean rubber spatula until the
mixture registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer
– start checking the temperature after about a minute of
stirring. When the egg white mixture registers 160°F, dry
off the bottom of the bowl and place on the stand mixer.
Insert the chef’s whisk. Stir the cornstarch mixture. Whisk
the egg white mixture on speed 3 for 1 minute while
slowly adding the cornstarch mixture. Increase to speed
10 and slowly add the remaining ¾ cup of granulated
sugar. Add the salt and vanilla and whip until the egg
whites form stiff peaks, about 4 minutes.
Spread the hot lemon fi lling in the prepared pie shell.
Top the fi lling with the meringue, taking care to spread
the meringue to touch the crust all the way around. Make
decorative swirls and peaks on the meringue as desired.
This makes a generous, high meringue topping – if you
prefer, use less.
Bake in the preheated 325°F oven for about 30 minutes
until lightly browned. Cool at room temperature for
about an hour, then refrigerate, uncovered, until chilled
for several hours. Mile High Lemon Meringue Pie is best
served the day it is made.
