Ingredients
Crust
⅔ cup (90 g) graham cracker crumbs
½ cup (75 g) all-purpose flour
½ cup (50 g) flaked sweetened coconut
1 Tbsp (15 g) sugar
⅓ cup (70 g) unsalted butter, melted
Filling
1 300 mL tin sweetened condensed milk
5 large egg yolks (save whites for meringue)
⅔ cup (160 mL) fresh lemon juice
2 tsp (2g) lemon zest
Marshmallow Layer
5 Tbsp (75 mL) cold water
2 ¼ (15 g) tsp gelatin powder
1 tsp (3 g) meringue powder
½ cup (115 g) sugar
¼ cup (60 mL) white corn syrup
1 pinch salt
Directions
Crust
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF and lightly grease an 8-inch square pan and line with parchment paper so that it comes up the sides of the pan. Toss all the crust ingredients until well-combined and press into the prepared pan. Bake for 12 minutes and cool while preparing the lemon filling.
Filling
1. Reduce the oven to 325ºF. Whisk all the filling ingredients together and pour into the cooled crust. Bake for 20 minutes, until set but with a little jiggle in the centre, then cool to room temperature before chilling for at least an hour.
Marshmallow Layer
1. Stir 3 Tbsp (45 mL) of the cold water with the gelatin and the meringue powder in a large bowl or the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whip attachment and set aside.
2. Bring the remaining 2 Tbsp (30 mL) of water, the sugar and the corn syrup to a boil and boil uncovered and without stirring until it reaches a temperature of 240ºF on a candy thermometer. While whipping, carefully pour the hot sugar into the bowl with the gelatin and whip this on high speed until tripled in volume and cooled, about 5 minutes.
3. Remove the lemon square from the fridge. Dollop the marshmallow on top of the filling and spread even. Let chill until set.
4. Use a blowtorch to lightly brown the marshmallow and chill until ready to slice and serve.
5. The squares will keep for up to 3 days refrigerated.

I've made numerous recipes of Anna's and been pleased with all of them. This was another gem although a bit time consuming. Family loved them. I had never heard of meringue powder but found it at my local grocery store.

[@NikkiA.Art.]

[@israkhan9957]

I'm so happy I found you! you are amazing! thanks for the recipes.

[@graceoha22]

Wow this recipe is amazing! I substituted a Swiss meringue for the marshmallow topping described to use up the egg whites. Worked great. The filling and crust are both delicious.

[@pamelasharp2366]

Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe!!

[@kellyfernando8499]

That looks delicious! I wouldn't have thought of adding coconut to the crust. I'm giving it a try soon.

Miss Olson, really love your kitchen , will a common hand held electric mixer can do the egg whites whip please? I don't have a kitchen aid mixer like yours.

[@ohyum]

Yes it will!

[@indowatiolympic867]

I'm watching you now and i subscribed immediately😍 Thank you for the recipe😋👌 Greetings from Hongkong! 11/3/2019

[@ohyum]

Thank you so much!

[@indowatiolympic867]

Your Welcome😍

[@thivyatharshinimahendran9005]

Hi Anna, I made this recipe. It was great. Unfortunately the marshmallow topping refused to stay on the lemon curd. Would you know why that is? Its like the entire top peeled off the curd. Also I don't have a stand mixer so i used a hand held mixer to make this and while i was dripping the sugar syrup into the gelatin, it started to harden and i literally had to fish out the hard bits of crystallized sugar from the mixture. Would you know why this has happen? I am making this in May (autumn in Melbourne) which means the temperature is about 11 degrees at the moment.

I want to make this for my daughter's birthday, but she doesn't care for graham crackers? Has anyone used the shortbread crust with the lemon meringue?

[@user-kp5vb9ut2n]

hello. why did you get a crust on a lemon layer? thank you

[@zeldapikmin]

Do you add the whites to the meringue??? It doesn’t say in the description box. But it says to save whites in the ingredients list.

[@kletingmerah3069]

I couldn't find meringue powder here in Indonesia. Any alternative suggestion?

[@bellecrieta8250]

what did Anna use Fahrenheit or Celsius? thank u

[@gigichu3280]

Belle Crieta 350F for the crust and 325F for the lemon filling

[@setarita]

Can you use marshmallow fluff instead of making that meringue topping?

[@kamalchheda1544]

Any substitute for egg yolk

[@eunhyepark6063]

Can I double this recipe? Or is it better to cook it twice?

[@gigichu3280]

Eun Hye Park u can always double or half any recipe

[@jillpritchard6037]

The squares are cut way to small, I need one slice like this for each cheek. This, along with almost all your recipes are so well done and look so tasty. I wish I could be your “Busgirl” and clean up for you! Have a Great Day, Irish Jilli

[@AK-ej3ui]

How to replace meringe powder? Thanks

[@simmjz5738]

can i freeze them?

[@AK-ej3ui]

How can I replace Graham crackers?

[@baya4761]

Any substitute for the meringue powder?

[@gigichu3280]

Gahye Kim whip egg whites instead

[@SR-xr6mz]

Cream of Tartar in spice section

[@ellep2290]

@@SR-xr6mz Anna said that meringue powder is dried egg whites. Cream of tartar is used to make egg whites more stable when whipping them into a meringue, so it is definitely not a substitute for the meringue powder.

[@aimihoney]

can I omit the coconut flakes?

[@brill34536]

Aimi Honey yes they're optional

[@ton.m4923]

Hi Anna. What if you cantget meringue powder??

[@gigichu3280]

T MM use whipped egg whites

[@charliebarnes7514]

The written recipe says to save the egg whites for the meringue but it doesn't say to use them in the instructions or video. Could you please clarify?

[@jerrybobteasdale]

It's Bonnie Hunt baking in a kitchen.

[@kaaatjeful]

I am not sure if I like coconut in the classic taste of LMP

[@Alicia-od3zm]

can i replace the meringue powder with real egg white?

[@ohyum]

Yes you can use egg whites for the meringue. Just make sure you whip the egg whites first before adding the hot sugar

[@adelefarough5123]

Is there an alternative to using a butane torch? Could I broil this instead? I am pyrophobic, and I can't even light a match, little and handle a small torch.

[@emuhleek]

Put in oven on broiler high. Sometimes I even hold it manually up to the heater lmao

[@TheAshimac]

i'll definitely make it except the meringue top layer, those fancy ingredients are not in my pantry!!

[@moose8846]

The only "fancy" ingredient I see is meringue powder, which is readily available on Amazon. Just give it a google!!

[@mikeyd946]

See now I have buy meringue powder....

[@eddiemartinez1364]

Me too. I don't see why we couldn't use the marshmallow fluff in the jar other than the fact that we'd be cheating, lol but I think that would still work. I have two jars in my cabinet (I use it to make frosting some times). If I wanted to make these right now it's either use the jar or go to the store. I'll take using the jar, lol...

[@johnsalazar245]

I hate coconut But I love lemon bars

[@hannahs.5559]

Ha. Haha. Hahaha. AHAHAHAHA. You think I'm only going to eat that one little square? Heck, I'll eat all the squares!

[@ceceliaaabraham6895]

D

[@tyroneclarke6506]

Hold on while I just get that dried meringue powder out of the cupboard.... why not use the other 5 egg whites?

[@BrendanDean99]

This looks and sounds great except for the 'Save the egg whites for the meringue' and then you use meringue powder instead??? what is the actual meringue recipe using egg whites?

[@joanbeeldens6131]

Can’t buy corn syrup here

[@rawbin4301]

oh wow, this has nothing to do with a lemon meringue pie though, especially if you flavour the crust with coconut. more like "coconut lemon marshmallow square"

[@GolDreadLocks]

I trird gettng the lemin curd video recipes-lemon curd, lemkn berry whip, tarte su citron, lemon meringue pir, lemon ripple ice cream-, but it isn 't on this channel, actually many recipes are missing!!! Very frustrating!!

[@simoso17]

What is it merengue powder ? We don't have in our country. I can cange with another think ? Sorry for my englesh...

[@gigichu3280]

Dumitru Simona it is dried egg whites so you can probably substitute it with regular egg whites but whip it first

[@eloishashalom1458]

LIKE EVERYONE HAS A TORCH.

[@SR-xr6mz]

I just set / stand over broiler , in the oven for 2-3 minutes..

[@somchr2]

Meringue powder? Lady GTFO what does everyone else use???

[@gregorsamsa1364]

No thanks. I'll just make delicious shortcake lemon meringue bars with 5 ingredients

[@me32181]

Sorry but your recipe has many third elements which should not be used, is like cheating on the traditional recipe. Its more complicated and can not be called lemon meringue pie. First the base is not sweet pastry, second pouring sweetest condensed milk?? really?? third your marshmallow mix, which is sets nicely because of the agar agar or gel you are incorporating. This recipe can confuse someone who wants to learn lemon meringue pie. It also seems too sweet.

[@lia-gc1pm]

It's not a pie dude

[@pixelrancher]

Which is why it's called "Lemon Meringue Squares" and not Lemon Meringue Pie. How smart do you feel now??
