Frequently Asked Questions
How far ahead can I make lemon angel pie? This dessert needs to be made a day ahead of time so it has time to sit in the refrigerator overnight. I don’t recommend making it more than one day ahead as the meringue softens the longer it sits.
What if my egg whites don’t stiffen up? Your weather will effect how well your egg whites stiffen and I have made this dessert many times when they don’t stiffen up and it looks more like thick white soup. That’s o.k.! Just pour it into the pan and it will be fine, I promise.
My meringue crust cracks as it cools! Yes, it is suppose to do that – don’t worry!
