Directions

  1. Combine sugar, milk, butter, lemon juice, egg yolks, cornstarch, and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let cool, about 30 minutes.

  2. Fold in sour cream, pour into the baked pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

  3. Beat egg whites, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue on top of filling, right up to the edge of the crust.

  4. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  5. Broil in the preheated oven until meringue is lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve immediately.
