This lemon custard pie with meringue topping is a great dessert after a meal with seafood.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs, separated
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
- 1 (9 inch) baked pie shell
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions
Step 1
Combine milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until mixture thickens to the consistency of pudding, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 2
Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until smooth. Add lemon juice and whisk until smooth.
Step 3
Return pudding to the heat; slowly stir in egg yolk mixture. Increase heat to high and boil, stirring constantly, for at least 2 minutes. Stir in butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour thickened custard into the pie shell.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 5
Combine egg whites, remaining vanilla extract, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Whip with an electric mixture until a fluffy meringue forms. Spread meringue over the custard.
Step 6
Bake pie in the preheated oven until meringue is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
