How to make South-African style Lemon Meringue Pie

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Lemon Meringue Pie is said to have Swiss and English roots, dating back to the 1800’s. And although its origins may not be South African, it's a much-loved dessert in SA - widely made and hugely enjoyed.
Some options for the base of the pie is to use shortbread, while most will go for crushed Tennis, Marie or digestive biscuits mixed with butter.
The recipe I find works best (as demonstrated in the video) is set out below. It’s reliable, quick and easy.
What are you waiting for? Go try it!
Ingredients
1 can of condensed milk - 397 g (14 oz)
100 g of butter (3.5 oz)
2 egg yolks
4 egg whites
100 ml of lemon juice
5 ml of vanilla essence (1 teaspoon)
75 g of caster sugar (2.6 oz)
200 g of digestive biscuits (7 oz)
Method
- Place biscuits in a plastic bag and crush using a rolling pin
- Mix crumbs together with melted butter in a mixing bowl
- Add contents to a pie dish of approximately 20 cm (7.9 in) in diameter
- Using the bottom of a round glass, press down on the crumbs to form a compact base of around 0.5 cm (0.2 in)
- Place in fridge for 10-15 minutes
- Preheat oven to 180°c (350°f)
- Pour condensed milk into mixing bowl, whisk while adding lemon juice a bit at a time
- Whisk the yolks in a separate bowl, then add them to the condensed milk mixture and mix well
- Pour mixture onto the biscuit base and bake for 10-15 minutes
- Beat the 4 egg whites and vanilla essence with an electric whisk, slowly adding in sugar. Continue beating until stiff peaks form
- Using a spatula, add the meringue mixture to the top of the baked pie - Spread evenly and finish with your preferred design
- Return the pie to the oven and bake for a further 20-25 minutes, or until the top begins to brown
Allow to cool to room temp, then refrigerate overnight. Best served chilled.
Now all that’s left to do is…
Enjoy!

I use tennis biscuits for the crust
Hi Jack, excellent option! My cousin in SA makes amazing tarts (including Melktert) using Tennis biscuits 😋
I prefer digestive biscuits, tennis too sweet for me, but for a bit of crunch and punch, try gingernut biscuits

Hi, how would I make it if I wanted the meringue top to be crispy like a pavlova base?
Hello! Thanks for the question. Moisture is an issue for crispy meringues. Probably the best way to crispiness is in the drying of the meringue after baking.
So the way I would do it is when the pie is done, to leave it open to fully dry out. I.E. not to cover or place in a cake tin. I really hope this helps :)
Can't open the video wanted to watch it again so that i can do the lemon meringue pie
Sorry to hear that, Rahema. Perhaps check your browser settings...
