    I only made the lemon filling as I didn't have time to make it all.
    I used granulated sweetner instead of sugar and added heavy cream to it just before setting into individual bowls and putting in the fridge to set.
    Was a little runny, but when topped with strawberries and raspberries with a dolop of cream it was divine.
    My husband is NOT a fan of lemon things, but he really enjoyed this.

    Recipe for Dummies!!!! It says 4 large eggs --- NOT 4 large egg yolks --- what a mess -- after I fixed the error the pie was actually very good. Please fix the printing of this recipe!!

    I made this pie for father's day! and had rave reviews,I had to download a recipe for candied Lemon peels, just for garnish! but the pie was excellent only thing is I messed up when it came to the graham crackers I bought cinammon grahams! I should have baked the crust for just a few more minutes to soften but all and all I will make this again.

    I made this pie for my mother for Mother's Day. She told me that it was delicious, and I took this as a great compliment because she is a superb cook. I, however, would amend the recipe slightly. One does not need five egg whites for the meringue; three are more than adequate. Cream of tartar also was not necessary for the meringue.

    This is the best lemon meringue pie you'll ever make/eat. And the reason it's so good is it's very rich and doesn't use cornstarch to set it up--just eggs and lemon and whole stick of unsalted butter! Follow the proportions exactly, and the filling, when it cools will set up nicely... don't freak out, because it doesn't set up like cornstarch pies immediately. Wait for it to cool!

    This recipe is fast and easy and the taste is wonderful! The filling comes out creamy & lite, my husband said it is the best he has had.

    Watched todays TV show & can't wait to make it. My husband loves lemon pie & I haven't made one from scratch in a long time. I even have a pie crust on hand.
