👨‍🍳 Instructions

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.

Fold in sour cream; pour into the baked pie crust.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

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.

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

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

Serve immediately.
