directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°f.
  • In a medium sized pot, mix 1/3 cup sugar, 2/3 cups sugar substitute. Over medium heat, gradually stir in cornstarch, water, orange juice, and egg yolk.
  • Stir mixture until it boils and thickens. Let boil one minute and remove from heat.
  • Stir in margarine, 1 tbs orange zest, and lemon juice.
  • Pour hot mixture into pie shell and set aside.
  • In an electric mixer, combine 3 egg whites and cream of tartar. Mix until slightly frothy, then add 2 tbs sugar, 4 tbs sugar substitute, and vanilla extract.
  • Mix on high until meringue is stiff.
  • Scoop meringue gently onto cooling pie filling. Pull meringue gently to the edge of pie shell to prevent shrinking away from the shell when fully cooled.
  • Decorate as desired with extra meringue.
  • Bake about 8 minutes or until meringue is golden brown.
  • Garnish with remaining 1 tbs of orange zest.
  • Allow pie to cool for at least one hour. Slice and enjoy!
