The cutest little lemon meringue pies

Single serving lemon meringue pies in a jar are the perfect dessert for the lemon lovers in your family. It is made with the same ingredients as a regular pie, but it is just a smaller version. We used 4 oz. mason jars for these little cuties since lemon meringue pie should be refrigerated. Putting the lids on them helps stack in the refrigerator.

Ingredients for mini lemon pie jars:

  • Graham cracker crumbs
  • sugar
  • butter
  • lemons
  • cornstarch
  • egg yolks
  • salt
  • water
  • egg whites cream of tartar

Making mini lemon pie jars:

Make the graham cracker mixture by mixing the graham cracker crumbs with the sugar and salt. Then, add the melted butter and mix until it resembles wet sand (you can use the directions on the graham cracker package, if you want). Then, put about 1 Tablespoon of graham cracker crumb mixture into each mini jar. Tap it down with the back of a wooden spoon till the crumbs hold together. Now, set the jars in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.

Now, make the lemon filling to put in the little mason jars. This can be made using our recipe for lemon curd or make a packaged lemon pudding. Make sure the pudding is cooked and not an instant lemon pudding. It is different from what you want in your lemon meringue jars.

Now, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar. When frothy, add the sugar and continue to whip until stiff and glossy. Then, top the small jars with meringue using a spoon or a piping bag. Broil until the meringue is a nice brown color.

Notes

If you can't buy graham cracker crumbs, you can make them by putting them in the Cuisinart and pulsing them. You can also put them in a zip lock bag and smack them until they are crumbs.

The lemon curd we use is tart and very lemony, if you want it sweeter, just add a little more sugar.
