How to Make Sugar Free Lemon Meringue Pie

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, and 1/4 cup cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens (about 1 minute).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 large egg whites, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
  4. Add 1 1/2 cups Equal (or 36 packets of Equal) to the egg mixture and whisk well to combine.
  5. Gradually whisk about half of the hot cornstarch mixture into the egg mixture to temper it.
  6. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cornstarch mixture.
  7. Cook over low heat for 1 minute, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Add a few drops of yellow food coloring, if desired.
  9. Pour the lemon curd filling into a pre-baked 9-inch pie crust.
  10. For the meringue: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with a pinch of cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  11. Gradually add 2/3 cup Equal (or 16 packets of Equal), beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  12. Spread the meringue over the hot lemon filling, sealing the edges to the crust to prevent shrinkage.
  13. Bake in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
  14. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
