Unfortunately, I did not save the recipe I used for this pie. Let me just tell you though, making a lemon merengue pie is super hard! I had never done it before, and one day had this insatiable craving. So I got all the ingredients I needed and started baking. Yikes, it took me two hours. What with the crust, the filling, the merengue. So much whipping going on in my kitchen at once! And I don't think I did the filling just right because it never quite set up. It still tasted great though, just not the firm gelatin texture I was expecting. The merengue however turned out perfectly, and I am proud of that because I had to whip it in a plastic bowl. I wasn't confident it would set up, but it actually did just fine. And was probably the best part of the whole pie, even after the Nilla Wafer crust I invented.
So, I think I will need to try this one again sometime. If any of you have any good tips on how to get the filling just perfect, or have a great recipe, let me know!
