Mine wasn't quite near as perfect as the pictures, but for the one who ate it, I don't think they cared much! Quick and easy, great recipe!

I didn't find this quicker than my usual stove top method, but it is indeed easier not having to stand over a stove and keep whisking to keep from burning. I found this way too sweet though for my liking, it uses 75% more sugar than most recipes with equivalent amounts of other ingredients. I wasn't sure, however, if reducing the sugar would impact the solidity of the curd due to it being a microwave recipe. I may try it again with less sugar to see. Worth noting - my microwave is small so I had to cook this longer in the last cook stage to get it to thicken.

The first time I made this, it came out with some lumps that I had to pick out. The times after that, I added ice cubes to the water to get it really cold and I very aggressively whisked the cornstarch. I also stopped after the first minute of cooking and then after two and a half minutes mark to stir. I have since had no problems with lumps. I always make this recipe into lemon tarts (it makes 24 regular sized tarts) with frozen tart shells and serve it with fresh whipped cream instead of meringue. It's very delicious and a new favorite of mine!

To: Evelync We just had your Fast Microwave Lemon Meringue Pie for dessert! Oh Lord, is it ever good. I could've sworn I stirred boxed pie filling forever on the stove. You're right, a body can't tell the difference. This yummie pie is super easy and fast to put together. Was lotsa fun to make. Thanks so much posting. This went right to the top of my favorites list!
