How to Make Lemonade Meringue Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup sour cream and 2 large egg yolks.
  3. Add 3.4 oz instant lemon pudding mix, 1 cup lemonade, and ½ cup milk. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and pour immediately into a 9-inch baked pie crust.
  6. In a clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt and 1 tsp cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  7. Gradually add ¾ cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  8. Gently spread the meringue over the hot lemon filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
  9. Bake on the highest rack of the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the pie cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set completely.
