Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup white sugar
1 cup milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup lemon juice
3 large egg yolks, slightly beaten
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup sour cream
1 (9 inch) baked pie crust
3 large egg whites
⅓ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, milk, butter, lemon juice, egg yolks, cornstarch, and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let cool, about 30 minutes.
  • Fold in sour cream; pour into the baked pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Beat egg whites, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue on top of filling, right up to the edge of the crust.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until meringue is lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve immediately.
