This looks so good! Lemon is my favorite! If the filling is cooked on the stove why do I have to bake it after putting it in pie crust?

In reply to Lisa.

If the lemon custard is already cooked why do you have.to bake it so long? It shouldn’t take 20 min. for the meringue to brown? Could you just put it under the broiler? If the crust Is pre baked, does it get over brown and.hard??

I did it and the result was very acidic. after waiting 3 hours in the refrigerator the filling came out watery (it was perfect before putting it in the oven for the meringue).

In reply to Lisa. Hi Lisa, you absolutely could make the filling ahead of time! I would refrigerate, yes, and I would cover it with plastic wrap directly onto the filling to prevent a "skin" from forming. Sometimes this can happen with those custard-y cooked fillings. If one forms anyway, it's fine and totally edible but this just helps prevent that skin from forming.

I am making this for the second time. My family LOVED it when I made it before. Can you make the filling ahead, like a day? If so, does it need to be refrigerated? Thank you!

Just making the filing now. How thick should it be? Only costs the back of the spoon after about 12 minutes. Yours looks so good!! Thanks
