Como fazer Sunset's Chunky Lemon Meringue Pie
- Quarter 4 large lemons lengthwise.
- Slice the quartered lemons crosswise into thin slices (about 1/8 inch thick), discarding the end pieces that are just peel and pith.
- Place lemon slices in a large bowl with 1 cup granulated sugar.
- Toss to combine, cover, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 2 days.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place oven rack on the lowest rung.
- Lightly dust a clean countertop and rolling pin with flour. Unwrap 1 (9-inch) pie crust (store-bought or homemade).
- Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle using short strokes from the center outward, turning the dough 90 degrees after every 3 or 4 passes to prevent sticking.
- Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan.
- Trim the overhang to 1/2 inch, tucking the edge underneath.
- Cover the pie crust with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk 3 large whole eggs and 1 large egg yolk in a medium bowl until frothy.
- Drain the lemon slices, reserving 1 1/4 cup of the lemon-sugar liquid. Add the drained lemon slices and reserved liquid to the egg mixture.
- Stir to combine.
- Pour the lemon filling into the chilled pie crust.
- Cover the pie with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (232°C).
- Remove the foil, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C), and bake for another 20 minutes.
- Remove the pie from the oven but leave the oven on.
- In a large clean bowl, beat 3 large egg whites, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Mound the meringue over the hot pie filling.
- Return the pie to the oven and bake until the meringue is puffed and deep golden brown, about 25 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely, at least 3 1/2 hours, before serving.
