This raspberry meringue pie recipe adds raspberries to the classic and delicious lemon meringue pie, giving it a less sweet and brighter flavor. Sometimes I don't make the meringue; I just cool the lemon filling for 3 hours and garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a raspberry at serving time.
Ingredients
- 1 pastry for a 9-inch pie crust
- 1 large egg white , beaten

Cook raspberry layer: Cook and stir raspberries in a saucepan over medium heat until raspberries start to break down, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir cornstarch into raspberries until cornstarch is dissolved and mixture is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon raspberry mixture into pie crust.

Make lemon filling: Combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan; gradually stir in cold water and 1/2 cup lemon juice until smooth. Stir egg yolks into sugar mixture; bring to a boil. Cook sugar-egg mixture at a boil, stirring constantly, until smooth, about 1 minute. Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice, lemon pulp, and butter into sugar-egg mixture; pour over raspberry mixture.

Make meringue: Beat egg whites in a clean, medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Gradually beat sugar into egg whites until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over lemon filling, completely sealing meringue onto edges of crust.

Creamy Cashew Chicken Curry
Mooove over, real cream — this rich and creamy chicken curry is made with cow-free cashew cream, which is remarkably similar to heavy cream in appearance, taste, and in-sauce behavior. In fact, cashew cream actually thickens up faster! Make this straightforward recipe with some garam masala and garnish with whole cashews, lime wedges, and cilantro. Serve with rice, garlic naan, or both!
Maple Curry Chicken
My mom tried something similar to this in a restaurant and thoroughly raved about it, so I tried to re-create it for Mother's Day. She loved this version so much that she won't order Maple Curry Chicken in restaurants anymore! Serve over your favorite pasta.
Garlic-Ginger Roasted Spaghetti Squash
Garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes come together to kick spaghetti squash up a notch. We like this as an alternate to rice or noodles when making Chinese stir-fry. It is also good served with grilled pork or chicken.
