Lemon Meringue Pie

A traditional lemon meringue pie is made by filling a prebaked pie crust with cornstarch-thickened lemon curd, topping it with a soft meringue, and then baking it. In this version, a hard meringue shell is filled with a tangy lemon curd made without cornstarch, topped with a soft meringue, and then finished with whipped cream. Much of the pleasure of eating this pie comes from experiencing the different textures of the meringues, the curd, and the whipped cream.
