Do you want the taste of scratch from a box? This Lemon Meringue Pie recipe is absolutely delicious! An easy DIY dessert recipe tutorial idea.
Lemon Meringue Pie is my love! In fact, on many occasion hubby has brought me home a pie over flowers because he knows I will enjoy that so much more!
Growing up, my favorite pie was always lemon meringue and my mom made it the best! Now it’s my turn to make the best Lemon Meringue Pie and I use the same recipe that my mom always did. It’s actually on the side of the Lemon Jello Box!
I have tried “from scratch” lemon pie recipes and they taste about the same but with a lot more effort.
Ingredients:
- Lemon Jello Cook & Serve Pudding
- 1/2 C Sugar
- 2 1/4 C Water
- 2 Beaten Eggs
How to Make a Lemon Meringue Pie
Begin by combining all of the ingredients in a pot on the stove. Stir until a full boil.
After it boils and, let it cool for 5 minutes before you pour the pudding into your pie crust. Here I cheat again and use the store-bought frozen pie crusts. So easy but still tastes AMAZING!
Meringue:
- 3 Egg Whites
- 1/3 C Sugar
Beat 3 egg whites in large bowl with mixer on high speed until foamy. Gradually beat in 1/3 cup sugar until stiff peaks for,
The meringue best part of the pie if you ask me! Simply plop it on the top of the pie. If you can make loopy peaks it makes the pie look even better.
Bake at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes to brown the meringue.
When it comes out of the oven it is all golden and I just want to it! BUT, it must cool before you cut into it or it will just be a gooey mess.
The next picture was supposed to be a beautiful slice of pie. But I waited so anxious to have a slice that I completely forgot to take a picture of that. OOPS! But let me tell you, it was AMAZING!
