World’s Best Lemon Meringue without Condensed Milk
So I’m not sure what you’ve grown up with but jello and a jar of condensed milk were both regular occurrences in my household.
Sidebar: making your own keto condensed milk is something that happened recently and I’m not against it entirely if it makes me fudge.
However, as you know we’ve drastically have stepped away from those type of ingredients on the regular and really try to make as much from scratch within reason. The filling is an example of it.

Ingredients
- 1 batch of low carb pie crust
Keto Lemon Curd
- 3/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 large eggs yolk (use the separated egg whites for the meringue topping below)
- 1/3 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 Tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 1/8 teaspoon stevia powder
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
Meringue Topping
- 3 egg whites ,
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
Prepare low carb crust according to instructions. Press dough into a oiled pie or tart pan. Bake for 325 degrees F for 15minutes.
Prepare lemon curd by placing a small pot over medium-low heat. Add lemon juice and heat until lukewarm.
In a medium sized mixing bowl whisk together egg yolks, powdered erythritol, arrowroot powder, stevia powder and lemon zest. Whisk the warm lemon juice into the egg mixture to temper the eggs, keep whisking until all the juice is incorporated.
Return the entire back of lemon curd to the pot and heat over medium heat, whisking at a medium pace. (NOTE: The trick to a good custard is continuous stirring. Not fast like scrambling eggs, but not so slow that things bubble or boil.)
Continue stirring until the sauce thickens (about 3-5 minutes). Once thickened, pour the lemon curd into the prepared pie crust and place uncovered in the fridge for at least 2hours to stiffen and cool.
Prepare your meringue topping by beating egg whites in a medium bowl with cream of tartar until egg whites are glossy and form stiff peaks.
Spoon meringue onto top of pie dab to create peaks for browning. Set under a high heat broiler for a few minutes, turning occasionally to get an even cook. Watch carefully as you want to the meringue to toast but not burn. Once it reaches your desired consistency. Allow to chill in the refrigerator for another hour before serving.
