Got this recipe from Keebler. I used fresh lemon juice in mine but you can buy store brand.This pie has a thicker filling than most lemon meringue pies and has a stronger egg taste. It's different than most lemon meringue pies too.

Tips

Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help ensure a smooth and creamy filling.
When separating the eggs, be sure to do it carefully so that no yolks get into the whites. Any yolks in the whites will prevent them from stiffening.
Beat the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as they begin to foam. This will help incorporate air into the whites and make them stiff and fluffy.
When adding the sugar to the egg whites, do it slowly, one spoonful at a time. This will help prevent the whites from deflating.
Continue beating the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks. This means that when you lift the beaters out of the bowl, the peaks of the egg whites will stand straight up.
When folding the egg whites into the filling, do it gently and slowly. Overmixing can cause the whites to deflate.
Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will give the filling time to set and the crust time to firm up.
