Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F ( 120 degrees C).
- Beat egg whites until stiff. Add cream of tartar and gradually add 1 cup sugar; beat until glossy. Turn the meringue into a well-greased 10 inch pie plate. Spread over bottom and sides of plate, building up the sides 1/2 inch above the edge of the plate. Place in oven, and bake 1 1/2 hours. Turn off oven, and leave meringue inside to cool slowly.
- Combine egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons zest, and lemon juice in double boiler. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium low-heat until thick. Pour into a bowl and cool thoroughly.
- Whip cold cream until stiff. Place half of the whipped cream in the cooled meringue shell. Cover with a layer of the lemon filling and top with the remainder of the whipped cream. (This top layer can be piped on with a decorative star tip). Garnish with remaining lemon zest. Refrigerate until serving.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of angel pie, but this one was pretty good. The crust was nice and flaky, and the filling was creamy and flavorful. The meringue topping was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good pie.

[email protected]This angel pie was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. The crust was a little too crumbly, and the filling was a bit bland. The meringue topping was the best part, but it wasn't enough to save the pie.

[email protected]I was disappointed with this angel pie. The filling was too runny, and the meringue topping was too soft. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I'll try it again and see if I can get it right.
