Paleo Lemon Meringue Pie
Ingredients

Lemon Filling
1 cup lemon juice
5tsp finely grated lemon rind
(approximately 4 lemons) (only took me two lemons)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut milk (I used real milk, as we didn't have coconut in the house)
4 tbs arrow root (thickening agent)
5 egg yolks

Meringue (This makes a TON of meringue btw)
5 egg whites
2tbs maple syrup

Crust: (I just used a storebought as my roomie isn't paleo so had it on hand, and I will just not eat the crust)
2 and a half cups crushed pecans
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
4 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Chill crust in fridge until hard. Then add filling.

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place lemon juice, lemon rind and maple syrup in a medium size pan on low heat.

In a small bowl, combine coconut milk and arrow root powder. Add to lemon juice mixture, stirring consistently until simmering.

Beat egg yolks together in a small bowl then add to simmering lemon mixture, stir constantly for 3-4 minutes, or until mixture has thickened. Pour into a pie dish.

To make the meringue, beat the egg whites and maple syrup in a medium size mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.

Spoon the meringue on top of the lemon filling then place into oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned. (took me 11-12 minutes but I am also at altitude)

Cool before serving.
