Description

A refreshing Lime Meringue Pie with a tart filling and fluffy meringue topping, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pie crust
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons lime zest
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for meringue)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine sugar, lime juice, lime zest, egg yolks, butter, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and continue beating until glossy and stiff peaks form.
  4. Pour lime filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly. Spoon meringue on top and seal the edges.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until meringue is light golden brown. Remove and cool before serving.

Notes

Use fresh limes for best flavor and store leftovers covered to prevent drying.
