Lemon Souffle Pie
- 1 unbaked nine inch pie crust
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (takes about 2 lemons for that much)
- zest from one lemon
- 3 tablespoons hot water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- Preheat the oven to 425.
- Prick pie shell over with a fork. Line it with foil and bake at 425 for 6 minutes. Remove the foil and then bake again until it is just lightly browned; about ten minutes.
- Reduce your heat to 325.
- Put your egg yolks in the top part of a double boiler (I have also done this part in the microwave on 60% power, stirring after every minute. But be careful to keep an eye on it and stir often if you do it that way.). Add the lemon juice, zest, salt, hot water and 3/4 cup of the sugar. Beat the mixture over boiling water until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- In a medium bowl, beat your egg whites & the remaining sugar until stiff moist peaks form.
- Pour the cooled lemon mixture into the egg whites until no streaks of white remain. Remember; FOLD… don’t stir. You don’t want to deflate your whites.
- Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Make pretty swirls on top of the filling.
- Bake at 325 until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
- Let cool on a rack. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Or just hold the pie pan really close to you with a spoon and growl at anyone who gets too near.
