This no-bake pie dip comes together quickly and promises all the sweet-tart flavors of the traditional version but without the hassle of baking up a crust.

Ingredients

Dip:

Meringue Topping:

Directions

Special equipment:
a kitchen torch
  1. For the dip: Combine the lemon curd, lemon zest and juice and salt in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and combined, about 2 minutes. Fold in the whipped topping with a spatula. Transfer the filling to a 9-inch pie plate and refrigerate, covered, 2 hours and up to overnight.
  2. For the meringue topping: Beat the egg whites and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form, about 4 minutes. While beating, add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form, 8 to 10 minutes. 
  3. Spoon large dollops of meringue onto the chilled pie. Use a kitchen torch to evenly brown the meringue peaks. Serve with shortbread cookies for dipping. 

Cook’s Note

If you don't have a kitchen torch, make the dip in a flameproof dish and run it under the broiler to brown the meringue.
