Base
- Double quantity Digestive biscuit recipe
Filling
- 250g sugar
- 60g corn flour
- 2 sachets gelatin
- ¼ tsp salt
- 300mls rice milk
- 240mls water
- 180mls lemon juice
- 1 ½ tablespoons lemon zest
Meringue topping
- 12 tbsp egg replacer
- 240mls ice cold water
- 200g sugar
- Mix your biscuit base, press it into a greased springform cake tin and bake at 190°C for 25-30minutes. The base should feel firm and look golden
- Add all your filling ingredients for the filling to a saucepan EXCEPT the gelatin
- Bring them to the boil and stir for 4-5 minutes before adding the powdered gelatin
- Turn the heat down and add the gelatin, taking care to stir continually
- After approx 5 minutes, the filling mix should be starting to thicken and you can now pour it on top of your baked biscuit base
- Pop this into the fridge for a couple of hours – the filling should start to set
- Now for the meringue. Add around half the water to the egg replacer and mix with a blender until stiff peaks start to form
- At this point, the original recipe calls for adding the rest of the water and sugar slowly and mixing until the meringue mixture is stiff
- I would recommend adding the sugar and only a little extra water until you feel it has the right consistency
- Add the meringue mix to the pie and leave for around 15 minutes to set
- Put the completed pie into the oven at 100°C and bake for between 30-60 minutes.
- Take it out, leave it to cool and then enjoy!
