For the Lemon Filling:

• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 4 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

For the Meringue:

• 4 large egg whites
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated.
• Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Let it cool completely.

2. Make the Lemon Filling:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch.
• Gradually stir in water, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.
• Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted.
• Pour the lemon filling into the cooled pie crust.

3. Prepare the Meringue with the WizNMix:

• Attach the Cyclone Bulb to your Salton WizNMix.
• In the mixing bowl, add egg whites and cream of tartar.
• Start the WizNMix on a low speed, gradually increasing to high until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip at high speed.
• Whip until stiff peaks form and the meringue is glossy.
• Mix in the vanilla extract for an additional 30 seconds.

4. Assemble and Bake:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Spoon the meringue over the lemon filling, spreading it to the edges to seal.
• Use the back of a spoon to create swirls and peaks.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the meringue is golden brown.

5. Cool and Serve:

• Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
