  • Don't overcook the lemon curd. It should be thick and glossy, but not too firm.
  • Make sure the pie crust is completely cooled before filling it. This will prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • When making the meringue, be sure to beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks. This will help the meringue hold its shape.
  • Use a kitchen torch to brown the meringue. This will give it a beautiful golden color and a slightly crispy texture.
