Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 4 egg whites

  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 4 egg yolks

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest

  • ⅓ cup lemon juice

  • 1 ⅛ cups heavy cream

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F ( 120 degrees C).

  2. Beat egg whites until stiff in a clean mixing bowl. Add cream of tartar; gradually add 1 cup sugar, beating until glossy. Transfer meringue into a well-greased 10-inch pie plate. Spread over bottom and sides of the plate, building up sides 1/2 inch above the edge of the plate.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Turn off the oven; leave meringue inside to cool slowly.

  4. Combine egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons zest, and lemon juice in a double boiler. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until thick. Pour into a bowl and cool thoroughly.

  5. Whip cold heavy cream in a mixing bowl until stiff. Place 1/2 of the whipped cream in cooled meringue shell. Cover with a layer of lemon filling and top with remaining whipped cream. (This top layer can be piped with a decorative star tip). Garnish with remaining lemon zest. Refrigerate until serving.
