Angel pie is made with lemon cream in a meringue crust.
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1 1/8 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F ( 120 degrees C).
Step 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.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Turn off the oven; leave meringue inside to cool slowly.
Step 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.
Step 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.
