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!

No reason EVER to make lemon filling any other way than this!!

This was fast and easy as promised! The only thing I think needs to be changed is the amount of cornstarch. It's way too much. I think half would give it a nicer consistancy. 1/2 cup makes it too rubbery.

Very good. I have had trouble with the lemon part not setting up, and this did. I was so excited.

This lemon pie is delicious! So easy in the microwave. I did add another egg white to the meringue, along with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar. I'll be making this for my daughter,("Nolan'Mom")as lemon is one of her favorites. Thanks evelync!

I had never tried to make Lemon Meringue Pie before (I had actually never even eaten it), but today, to celebrate my husbands birthday, I tried it. It is his favourite pie and he loved this vversion. I must admit it is now in my top list of pies too. I did reduce the amount of sugar and loved the balance between tartness and sweetness in the pie. My Mother-In-Law has already asked for the recipe...

I used the filling portion of this recipe. It turned out very well...so quick and easy. I did reduce the sugar to one cup and the water to 1 1/4 cup. I like my pies a bit more tart.
