Pie Crust:

Lemon Filling:

The filling for this low carb lemon meringue pie is my modified version Keto Lemon Curd Recipebut made thicker to fit the pie filling:

• yolk – The key ingredient in lemon curds, they make it thick and creamy. Use large eggs, reserving the whites for the meringue (below).
• Original Gelatin Powder – Gelatin is a natural thickening agent.
• hot water – Bloom Gelatin.
• Xanthan Gum – Another ingredient that helps thicken the filling.
• lemon – You need lemon juice and lemon zest. However, you will need the zest of about 3 lemons and the juice of about 4-6 lemons, so you can just take 3 and make up the remaining juice with bottled juice if you want.
• Besti Luo Han Guo Powder Allulose Blend – like mine Sugar Free Lemon Curd, I only recommend Besti here because unlike other sweeteners (including erythritol and other brands of monk fruit sweeteners), Besti dissolves completely and does not crystallize.You can try other powdered sweeteners (see A Guide to Keto Sweeteners for conversions), but most of them crystallize and produce gritty results.
• sea ​​salt – Balanced sweetness.
• butter – Adds flavor and also helps thicken. Make sure it’s unsalted.

• Keto Lemon Curd – The lemon layers of this keto meringue pie are sweet and tart in the best way possible, including egg yolks, powdered gelatin, xanthan gum, lemon juice and zest, butter, and sweetener.

Meringue:

• protein – Take the egg whites from the lemon curd above, which utilizes the egg yolks.
• Besti Luo Han Guo Powder Allulose Blend – The same sweetener used in the above filling. This is my first choice for the same reasons as above.
