This lemon meringue pie has a crisp, buttery crust and sweet-tart lemon curd filling topped with mile-high peaks of toasted marshmallowy meringue. It\u2019s a classic diner dessert that\u2019s fresher and better when it\u2019s made at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re as crazy about lemon desserts as I am, try my Meyer lemon pudding tarts<\/a> and zesty lemon olive oil cake<\/a>, next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classic Lemon Meringue Pie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s something fun and retro about making American diner classics at home, from banana cream pie<\/a> and coconut custard pie<\/a> to today\u2019s lemon meringue pie. This recipe makes a traditional pie packed with creamy lemon custard, topped with generous heaps of pillowy, toasted meringue in a flaky all-butter pie crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lemon filling for this recipe is a very stiff version of my homemade lemon curd<\/a>. This thicker version helps the pie hold its shape when sliced, and it involves tempering egg yolks to make a stable custard base. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
