Heavenly Pie ( Lemon Meringue Reversed) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
4 egg whites, beaten till stiff not dry
4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest, grated
1 pint heavy cream, whipped

Preparation

Sift together 1 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar.
In a large grease-free mixing bowl beat the egg whites at a slow steady speed. When they are foamy gradually add the cream of tartar and sugar mixture. When the meringue begins to form soft peaks, increase to a moderate beating speed.
Beat another 5 minutes, until the meringue is thick, but still glossy, and forms peaks when the beaters are lifted.
Line a well greased 9 or 10 inch pie pan with meringue mixture to form a pie crust.
Bake for 1 hour at 225 degrees.
Stir in 1/2 cup sugar to egg yolks with lemon juice and zest, cook in double boiler (or Micro) until very thick about 8-10 minutes.
Cool.
Combine 1/2 whipped cream with Lemon egg mixture and fill meringue shell, chill 24 hours.
Cover with remaining whipped cream.
Serve AWAY!
