Oh my goodness this pie is GOOD!
I made this for our family this weekend along with brownies and a cherry pie. Very smooth and creamy. You could easily make it way ahead if you have the freezer space...the meringue piles up high with peaks. I thought it was so much fun to make...5 stars for sure!I used Graeters lemon sorbet and Edy's 1/2 fat ice cream.
The layer of meringue insulates the ice cream mixture, keeping it from melting under the broiler.
