This fancy looking pie is sure to impress a crowd with its beautiful billowy meringue

sitting atop a nice bright yellow base. That is, if you have any technical skill.
Otherwise it may turn out looking a little shit and unimpressive.

LEMON MERINGUE PIE


BAKING TIME A while if you’re bad DIFFICULTY A fool could do it

Pie Crust 1 For the pie crust, in a large mixing bowl, combine the
2 cups blanched almond flour crust ingredients and mix well. If needed, you can add
1/4 cup sugar extra (vegan) butter. Transfer to an 8 inch pie pan and
press into place. Set aside.
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 Place cornstarch and caster sugar in a saucepan. Stir
6-7 tbsp. vegan butter
through the lemon juice and coconut milk. Add the yellow
food coloring slowly until nice and yellow. Turn on the
Lemon Curd heat to medium and stir until the sugar dissolves.
1/3 cup cornstarch
3 Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring
1 cup caster sugar
constantly, until mixture begins to bubble and thicken.
3/4 cup lemon juice
4 Remove the lemon curd from the heat. Moving quickly,
1 cup coconut milk
transfer the lemon curd into the pie crust. Refrigerate for
1/4 tsp. yellow food coloring at least 2 hours to firm up.
5 Once the curd has firmed up, prepare the meringue. In
Meringue a large mixing bowl, add the aquafaba and beat until soft
1/2 cup aquafaba
peaks form (around 5 minutes if your arm is not weak).
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
6 Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until
1 cup powdered sugar combined. Slowly add the powdered sugar and continue
beating until stiff (if you know what I mean), glossy peaks
form. Add the vanilla extract.
7 Using a rubber spatula, spread out the meringue over
the top of the lemon pie. Using a blow torch, gently brown
the tops of the meringue.

Properly beating the aquafaba is key, so don’t let a tired arm stop you
from a good pie.
