Instructions
- LEMON FILLING:
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and set aside. Save the egg whites for the meringue.
- In another small bowl whisk the water, gelatin, and xanthan gum. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, Powdered Sugar, salt, and whisked egg yolks. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Slowly whisk in the gelatin mixture. Whisk constantly for 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
- Add in the butter and stir until melted.
- Remove from heat and pour the lemon filling into the cooled pie crust. Place the pie in the fridge overnight or for at least 5-6 hours.
- KETO MERINGUE:
- Preheat the oven to Broil.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add Powdered sugar and continue mixing on high speed until the meringue is glossy and smooth.
- Place small dollops of the meringue on top of the lemon filling. Smooth over the top, making swirls with the back of a spoon.
- Place the keto lemon meringue pie under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, until the meringue is golden brown. Alternately, to achieve perfectly browned edges, you can use a blow torch.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Serve cold.
