Ingredients

• 1 9-inch shell Pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.33 cup Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Water
• 0.33 cup Frozen lemonade concentrate (thawed)
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 large Egg whites
• 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for meringue)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pre-made pie crust for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually stir in water and lemonade concentrate until smooth.

Step 3

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot lemonade mixture to the yolks while whisking to temper them. Then slowly pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan, whisking constantly.

Step 5

Continue cooking the mixture over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes until thick and glossy. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in butter until melted and fully incorporated.

Step 6

Pour the lemonade filling into the cooled pie crust and set aside.

Step 7

Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Step 8

Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.

Step 9

Spread the meringue over the lemonade filling, ensuring it touches the edges of the crust to seal.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown.

Step 11

Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your lemonade meringue pie!
