Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- For the filling:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 4 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- For the meringue:
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat 4 large egg yolks. Gradually whisk about 1/4 of the hot sugar mixture into the egg yolks, then add the egg yolk mixture back to the remaining sugar mixture in the saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Pour the hot filling into the cooled crust.
- In a large bowl, beat 4 large egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form and the sugar is dissolved. Spread the meringue over the hot filling, sealing the edges of the pie.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown. Cool for 1 hour on a wire rack. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
