Equipment
  • 1 medium saucepan
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 mixer
  • 1 spatula
Ingredients
  
  • 1 package of Jell-O Cook & Serve Lemon Pudding Mix
  • 1 9- inch pie crust pre-baked
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • Fresh lemon zest optional for garnish
Instructions
 
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the Jell-O lemon pudding mix, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water.
    Stir the mixture until it is well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk 3 egg yolks.
    Gradually blend the egg yolks into the saucepan with the lemon pudding mixture, stirring constantly.
    Add in fresh lemon juice according to the package directions and continue stirring.
  • Place the saucepan on medium heat and cook until the mixture comes to a full boil.
    Be sure to keep stirring to avoid any lumps or uneven cooking.
    Once it reaches a boil, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
  • After the lemon filling has cooled slightly, pour it into the pre-baked 9-inch pie crust.
    Set aside.
  • In a large bowl with a mixer, beat the 3 egg whites and the cream of tartar on high speed until foamy.
    Gradually add 1/3 cup sugar into the egg whites and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  • Carefully spread the meringue over the lemon filling, making sure to cover the entire surface of the pie.
    You can create decorative peaks with a spatula for a more visually appealing finish.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the pie for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown.
    Keep a close eye on it to ensure the meringue doesn't burn.
  • Once the Jello Lemon Meringue Pie is out of the oven, let it cool completely before serving.
    Optionally, garnish with fresh lemon zest for an extra touch of flavor.
    Enjoy your delicious Jello Lemon Meringue Pie!
