Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away and one of my favorite desserts to make is Lemon Meringue Pie. The pie itself is super easy to make, but sometimes the meringue can be a little tricky if you don’t have the right recipe. Below is my go to meringue recipe that is fool-proof every time! Meringue can be used on a variety of pies like chocolate, coconut, and my favorite lemon.
Ingredients:(This is enough for one pie)
- 4 Egg Whites
- 6 Tablespoons of White Sugar
The first thing you need to do is carefully separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. It is very important that you don’t get any of the yolk into the egg whites or it won’t set up properly.
Next with your mixer, gradually add in the sugar one tablespoon at a time.
As you mix in the sugar the egg whites will start to slowly thicken up. Beat the sugar into the egg mixture until it forms stiff white peaks. I normally have to mix my eggs for a couple of minutes total.
After your meringue is nice and thick pour it on top of your pie and spread evenly on the pie slightly covering the crust. With a spoon make peaks with the meringue on your pie.
In a preheated oven bake the pie with the meringue on top at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown.
Enjoy!
