- 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.
