This dessert is a great way to serve lemon meringue pie without rolling out enough pie crusts to feed a crowd. The crust presses into the pan.Joyce Ashe, Gloversville, New York Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 cup cold butter, cubed |
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts |
filling: |
4 packages (2.9 ounces each) cook-and-serve lemon pudding mix |
2-1/2 cups sugar, divided |
9 cups water, divided |
8 eggs, separated |
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine flour and sugar. With a pastry blender, cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in walnuts. Press into two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes. Bake at 350° for 17-20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large kettle or Dutch oven, combine pudding mixes, 2 cups sugar, 1 cup water and egg yolks. Stir in remaining water until smooth. Whisk over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil. Set aside and keep warm.
3. In a large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peak form and sugar is dissolved. Spread hot pudding over crust. Evenly spread meringue over filling, sealing edges to pan.
4. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown. Cool on wire racks for 1 hour. Refrigerate. Cut with a moistened knife. Yield: 2 desserts (12-15 servings each).
