Ingredients

  • 12 prepared Tart Shells (if baking your own, make sure to use some kind of 'pie weights' or the shells will puff up too much.
  • 1 package of Prepared Lemon Pie Filling
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup Water
  • 1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 4 large Egg Whites
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla (use clear if you can find it)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325F.

Step 2

Pour warm lemon pie filling into tart shells, almost to the top of them.

Step 3

Mix cream of tartar and sugar together; set aside.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat egg whites until frothy; then add vanilla. Beat in sugar mixture 1 tbsp at a time.

Step 5

Distribute meringue over the tarts, starting with working it to the edges of crust and then forming a little peak on the middle. This is very easy if you use a piping bag. Try to create peaks in the meringue.

Step 6

Bake until golden, 10-20 mins. Watch it carefully, it's easy to over cook it and ruin the meringue. Cool totally on wire racks before transferring to fridge.

Step 7

Enjoy!
