Notes

  • Make ahead tips

    When making a recipe that calls for one pie crust, we often make a double recipe and freeze the second half to save time when we next want to make a pie. (Defrost frozen pie dough in the refrigerator overnight.) Lemon curd can be made up to 3 days in advance,

  • Lemon curd can be made up to 3 days in advance,
  • When heating the egg whites for the meringue, check that the sugar has dissolved by rubbing a bit of the mixture between your fingers. If it feels smooth and not grainy, you are good to go.
  • For an extra crisp crust, you can brush a thin layer of melted white chocolate on the baked crust and let harden before filling.
  • You can add more lemon zest to the pie filling for a more refreshing flavor.
  • For more meringue-topped pies, try our Raspberry Curd Pie or Sweet Potato Pie!
