I love love love Ina and all her amazing recipes! This filling tasted great but it did not set at all. Twice it was nothing but a goopy mess! The third time I read the reviews and tried making it with a plain jello package and it worked! The taste was still amazing but it set wayyyy better than the first two times. I was even able to slice it! How anyone can make this filling set without the jello is beyond me! Besides that though this recipe is great! Thanks Ina!!

I made it for Easter and it turned out perfect! I made my own pie shell instead of using her pie recipe.

I made this for my sister, who has cancer and requested a lemon meringue pie like my mother use to make. It was perfect. Just as I expected from Ina. The custard was rich and not too lemony. I will be making this again and again.

Made this exactly to the recipe and brought the custard to 175 as stated. I let it cool and continued as stated. After browning the top I put it in the fridge for 2 hours to set. It didn't set at all. When I cut a slice the lemon filling just flowed with a liquid texture that covered the plate. Anyone have an idea what went wrong and how to fix it? Much appreciated.

I made this tart not once but 3 times, and I have to say that all 3 times it came out so good. I followed the receipe exactly as written. I did notice the lemon curd didn't seem to look firm as in Lemon meringue pies so I put it in the refrigerator of several hours. My husband loved it! It turned out so good. I would not change a thing. I love the swirled meringue other than peaks as on meringue pies..

Lemon filling fail. I followed the directions exactly. It looked beautiful and the meringue was perfect. But, the minute my husband cut in to the pie...goo everywhere. What a waste of time!

I made this recipe for the first time and it came out perfect. I have not ever made a meringue pie before and this recipe was very easy to follow. My crust was a little tough but I think that is because I was making an 11 inch tart and doubled the crust, I may have handled it too much but the flavor was wonderful. I only buy large eggs so I threw in an extra egg yolk in the filling and a couple of extra egg whites in the meringue. I made this for a dinner party with two other desserts this was the first to go. Yum!
