Ingredients

8 servings

  • 1 cup water
  • ¾ cup agave nectar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ lemons, zested and juiced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 egg yolks, beaten
  • 1 baked pie crust
  • 4 egg whites
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar, or more to taste

Instructions

  • Whisk water, 3/4 cup agave nectar, cornstarch, flour, zest and juice from 2 1/2 lemons, and salt together in a saucepan; bring to a boil just until lemon mixture coats a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir butter into lemon mixture until melted; remove saucepan from heat.
  • Whisk 1/2 cup lemon mixture with the egg yolks in a bowl to temper the yolks. Return saucepan to medium-low heat and slowly whisk tempered egg yolks into remaining lemon mixture until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon lemon mixture into pie crust.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat egg whites and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice in a clean bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form; add 2 tablespoons agave nectar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Spoon egg white mixture on top of lemon mixture, making sure to completely cover the lemon mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until meringue is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
