Ingredients
Before we dive into the instructions, let’s gather our ingredients:
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 4 large eggs (separated into whites and yolks)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Now that we’ve gathered everything we need, let’s get to cooking:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare your pie crust according to the package instructions or your favorite homemade recipe. Bake it until it’s golden brown. Set it aside to cool.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries and lemon juice. Cook them over medium heat until they’re bubbly. Use a spoon to mash the raspberries a bit as they heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the raspberry-lemon mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens. This should take about 5 minutes. Don’t forget to stir!
- Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Pour this incredible filling into your baked pie crust.
- Now, let’s move on to the meringue. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add in a little sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Spoon the meringue over the warm filling, spreading it to the edges to seal in that delicious filling.
- Bake the pie for about 10-15 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown.
- Let it cool for a bit before slicing up and serving. Enjoy that sweet-tart flavor combined with the fluffy meringue!
