How to Make a Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe

Project Overview

This is the best Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe ever, and it is so easy to bake! Below is the full recipe and step-by-step tutorial.

Lemon Meringue Pie is my love! In fact, on many occasions, hubby has brought me home a pie over flowers because he knows I will enjoy that so much more!

Yup, he loves me!

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 ever, and I use the same recipe my mom always used. It's actually on the side of the Lemon Jello Box, so it is no secret.

I have tried "from scratch" lemon pie recipes, which aren't as good and require more effort.

Begin by baking the pie crust according to package directions.

Combine all of the ingredients in a pot on the stove. Stir until a full boil.

After it boils, let it cool for 5 minutes before you pour the pudding into a cooled baked pie crust.

I break the rules and use store-bought frozen pie crusts. It is so easy and still tastes AMAZING!

Beat 3 egg whites in a large bowl with a mixer on high speed until foamy. Gradually beat in â…“ cup sugar until stiff peaks form.

The meringue is the 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 eat 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 was so anxious to have a slice that I completely forgot to take a picture of that. OOPS! But let me tell you, it wasAMAZING!
