Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for meringue)

Instructions

  1. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Press this mixture into a tart pan and bake for about 10 minutes, then let it cool.
  3. Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Gradually add water and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Whisk the egg yolks and slowly mix in the thickened mixture. Return to low heat and add lemon juice, lemon zest, and butter.
  5. Pour the lemon filling into the cooled crust.
  6. Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar until glossy stiff peaks form.
  7. Spread the meringue over the lemon filling, ensuring it touches the crust to prevent shrinking.
  8. Bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden brown.
  9. Cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, add the meringue right before serving to keep it fluffy.
