Luscious Lemon Meringue Pie

Serves 12 Ingredients Base 250 g ( ½ packet) Provitas 30 ml (20 g) SUGAlite 60 g Low Fat Margarine, melted Filling Rind and juice of 2 Large Lemons 65 g Cornflour 75–110 ml (50–75 g) SUGAlite (depending on your taste) 2 Extra Large Egg Yolks Meringue 3 Extra Large Egg Whites 257 ml (175 g) SUGAlite

Method

1. Crush the Provitas until very fine in a food processor. Combine the crushed biscuits, SUGAlite and margarine.
2. Press into a pie dish. Brush with egg white. Chill for 30 minutes.
3. To make the filling, put the lemon rinds and 600 ml water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat. Cover and leave to stand for 30 minutes.
4. Remove the rind from the pan, then stir in the lemon juice. Blend the cornflour with a little of the lemon liquid to form a smooth paste. Pour it into the pan and stir well. Bring the lemon mixture to the boil and stir continuously. Reduce the heat and continue to stir until thickened. Stir in the SUGAlite, then beat in the egg yolks. Pour the lemon filling into the pastry case.
5. To make the meringue, whisk the egg whites in a bowl until stiff. Gradually whisk in the SUGAlite a little at a time, whisking well after each addition.
6. Spoon the meringue filling on top of the lemon filling and shape it in swirls with a dessert spoon.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 5–10 minutes until the meringue is very lightly browned. Remove the pie from the oven, leave to cool, then refrigerate until cool.
