1 cup sugar, divided
1 envelope gelatin
1/2 tsp salt
4 eggs, separated
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 large lemons)
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp lemon zest, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 pinch cream of tartar
1 pie shell, baked and cooled

Chill a small bowl and whisk in the freezer for the cream.

In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the sugar with the salt & gelatin.
Whisk the egg yolks with the lemon juice and water. Whisk it into the sugar mixture.
Stir over medium heat until the curd comes to a boil and thickens.
Stir in the zest.
Pour into a bowl and set over ice to cool, stirring constantly.
Chill until partially set, but still pourable. Use a whisk to eliminate any large lumps.
Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar to soft peaks.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and continue beating to stiff, glossy peaks.
In the chilled bowl, whip the cream.
Stir the curd with a whisk to loosen it just a bit. Fold in a spoonful of the cream & the meringue into the curd to lighten it.
Fold everything together.
Quickly pile the filling into the cooled pie shell, and chill for several hours or overnight.

:lol: :lol: :lol: The recipe looks really good. As previously posted, I tend to harvest a lot of Meyer lemons, and this will be yet another great way to use them (in addition to the limoncello in my cupboard).
