Gluten Free Lemon Meringue Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Place graham crackers into a resealable plastic bag and crush into crumbs using a rolling pin. Pour into a bowl and add enough melted butter so crumbs stick together. Press mixture firmly into your serving dish to form the crust. Place in the freezer until firm, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove crust from freezer.
• Whisk condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a bowl; pour over crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just set, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove pie from oven. Keep oven on.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until medium peaks form. Add sugar gradually, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Whisk in salt and cream of tartar gently. Spread meringue over pie. Use a fork to create peaks in the meringue.
• Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Return pie to the oven and bake until meringue topping is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Turn off oven and leave the pie inside to cool, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray (without flour).
• In food processor, place cereal. Cover; process until crushed. Add remaining crust ingredients. Cover; process until crumbly. Press mixture into pie plate, starting in center and pressing up side. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on cooling rack.
• In 3-quart saucepan, beat egg yolks, water, 1 cup granulated sugar, the lemon juice and cornstarch with whisk until well blended. Cook on high heat, stirring constantly with whisk until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in ghee until incorporated. Pour filling into crust.
• In medium bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Spoon meringue onto hot filling, spreading to edges to seal. Bake 15 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Cool on cooling rack 30 minutes. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Sift 2 cups gluten-free flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a bowl 3 times. Add margarine; rub it into the flour, lifting and stirring with your fingers, until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
• Whisk 1 egg white and 2 1/2 tablespoons water together in a bowl; pour into the well. Mix with a butter knife using cutting motion until dough holds together. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if dough is too dry. Add flour, 1 teaspoon at a time, if dough is too sticky.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press into a ball, cover in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Grease a 9-inch pie plate heavily with margarine. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Remove dough from the refrigerator. Roll out between 2 pieces of parchment paper using a rolling pin until approximately 10 inches in diameter. Place the crust into the pie plate, trim the edges, and use a fork to decorate the rim. Prick the base of the crust with a fork. Line with a double layer of aluminum foil and a layer of pie weights or dried beans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edge of crust is golden, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and weights; continue baking until the crust is starting to turn golden, about 15 minutes more. Remove from oven.
• Sift 1 1/4 cups white sugar, 1/3 cup gluten-free flour, and 1/3 cup gluten-free cornstarch together into a saucepan. Whisk in lemon juice slowly until smoothly combined. Turn heat to medium and gradually whisk in 1 cup water. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in 6 egg yolks and 2 tablespoons margarine. Return to low heat and stir constantly until very thick, about 2 minutes. Spread filling over the crust. Allow to cool, about 5 minutes.
• Beat 7 egg whites together in a clean, dry bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add cream of tartar and beat until peaks stiffen. Add 1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar in batches, beating on high after each addition, until meringue is thick and glossy. Beat in the vanilla extract. Spoon meringue gently over the lemon filling, making peaks with a knife.
• Bake in the still-hot oven on the center rack until meringue begins to turn golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the oven off; allow pie to cool in the oven 8 hours to overnight.
