How to Make Desperate Housewives Secret Lemon Meringue Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the pie crust (use your favorite recipe or store-bought).
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
- Remove from heat and stir in the egg yolks, lemon juice, and Boyajian lemon oil. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour the lemon filling into the prepared pie crust.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Spread the meringue over the lemon filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal flavor and consistency.
