How to Make Beau Catchin Lemon Pie

  1. Whisk together 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup water and 1 cup fresh lemon juice until completely smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large egg yolks until pale and thick.
  4. Gradually temper the egg yolks by whisking in a small amount of the hot lemon mixture, then pour the tempered yolks into the saucepan and whisk constantly.
  5. Stir in 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of unsalted butter.
  6. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. Continue to whisk for 1-2 minutes after boiling.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest.
  8. Pour the lemon filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  9. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  10. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  11. Gently fold in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 cup marshmallow creme.
  12. Spread the meringue evenly over the lemon filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
  13. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
  14. Let cool completely to room temperature before serving. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for optimal flavor.
