Instructions

  1. Put the constarch, water, sugar and salt in a medium size nonstick saucepan. Boil for 1 minute.
  2. Put 1/4 cup of this mixture in a separate bowl and add egg yolks. Whisk.
  3. Gradually add the rest of the boiled mixture while mixing well.
  1. Put back in the saucepan and heat for 1 minute.
  2. Remove from heat. Add cold chopped butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well.
  3. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  4. Pour in meringue crust.
  5. To make crust: Beat 2 egg whites till stiff. Add cream of tartar and salt then add 1/2 cup sugar gradually while still mixing.
  1. Add vanilla extract. Roll a small amount between your fingers- if you still feel the sugar continue beating until the sugar is dissolved. Put in greased 9 inch pie dish and design as desired. Then bake at 300 for 40 minutes.
  2. Beat 1 cup heavy cream with 1 teaspoon sugar until thick or stiff. If you want to make your own nonfat whipped cream: Combine 1/3 cup ice water with 1 1/4 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Add 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder. Beat until stiff; add sugar and beat a few minutes longer.
  3. Pour the cooled mixture in the meringue crust. Top the lemon pie with whipped cream.
  4. *Varieties: The ingredient picture shows oranges- I love the orange juice for an orange creamsicle pie!
