Ingredients
Method
Crust
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Use a food processor to combine and pulse all the ingredients for the crust. Press crumbs into your pie pan and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Filling
- Combine sugar, gelatin, salt, arrowroot and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring constantly for 1 minute.
- Beat your 4 egg yolks and pour some of your gelatin mixture into the beaten yolks. Stir and pour this back into the saucepan to cook until it has thickened. Warning: Do not allow the mixture to go above 160°.
- Whisk the lemon juice, butter, and lemon zest together into the egg/gelatin mixture and then remove your saucepan from heat.
Meringue
- Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar at a low speed in a bowl until it becomes light. Slowly pour in sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
Pie
- Pour the egg and gelatin filling into the pie crust and cover with the meringue. Add extra meringue to the centre and make sure all the edges are sealed.
- Bake the pie for 30 minutes or until the meringue is lightly browned. Set aside for one hour, then keep in the refrigerator for another 4-5 hours.
