- đ 1930 Magic Lemon Cream Pie. Welcome friends! Today on the Old Cookbook Show, we are making Magic Lemon Cream Pie, from the 1930 âNew Magic In The Kitchenâ cookbook. This pie recipe is essentially a Lemon Meringue Pie made with condensed milk. It is also what food historians believe to be the genesis of the âmodernâ Key lime pie, as it breaks away from previous more labourious methods.
Ingredients:
1 can (sweetened) condensed milk (300 mL)
œ cup lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
2 eggs
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
Baked 9â pie shell or Cracker Crust: âą đ Graham Cracker Pie C...
Method:
Preheat oven to 350ÂșF
Blend together condensed milk, lemon juice, zest, and egg yolks.
Pour into a baked pie shell.
Beat egg whites until frothy and then add sugar while continuing to beat to stiff peaks.
Cover pie with meringue and then baked 15-18 minutes until meringue is cooked and golden brown.

My mom made this pie for my dadâs birthday every year. My mom died on Thanksgiving day, my daddy the previous June. TearsâŠbut good memories. Food can evoke so much..thanks, Glen.
This was a very "memory lane" video for...it brought tears and laughter. My Momma made the pie like you did for me....I love lemons and it was my pie if sick, sad or just having a bad day pie. Momma has been gone for a year now. I really needed to see this...made me realize how much I loved Momma, now it's the kids and grandkids time to make the magic lemon pie with Nanny. Thanks
I hope and pray they will come through for you.
There was nothing in the world like my grandma Mimi's key lime pie... making it again today in her honor
I hope you are enjoying making this pie still in your Mother's memory.
It's Prehaps a bit late, however she's with you always.. In memory and in your heardlt.
I made this pie today. I have never made a pie with meringue. Or even a lemon pie.
It turned out great. And as I always say"Easy as pie!"
My tree is full of lemons right now & I appreciate the recipe to use up my lemons. đđ
In the late sixties, in San Francisco, California, where I grew up,
we lived just a short walk away from a Woolworths department
store. They had a counter where they sold milkshakes, coffee
and an assortment of slices of different pies among other things.
So after or before you did your shopping, you stopped there and
got a cup of coffee and a slice of pie. My mom and I always got
a slice of the lemon meringue pie. The meringue was very high.
I donât remember how much it cost. But it was inexpensive.
I want to say 25 cents. Loved the pie and the memory.
I have a similar memory of a local diner that sold their own homemade key lime pies and they were heavenly. The place has since switched to store bought pies along with everyone else in the area so its something i kind of miss, but this makes me want to make a key lime pie from scratch now!
The only remaining Woolworth lunch counter in the US is in Bakersfield, CA. We discovered it 2 years ago while visiting family. The building is an old Woolworths building. Other than the lunch counter, the rest is for antique booths. Of course we had to have one of their hamburgers and a shake served in the metal container! We were so impressed with the lunch counter, I had to take a full length picture of it. After we got home, we had it enlarged and it hangs at the bottom of the stairs to our basement.
We had a restaurant that only served home made pies. Each week had the usual apple and either peach apricot or cherry the third was some cream pie. Different each week.
I was born 1949 and my first memory of lemon ice box pie was this recipe used at Christmas 1956, but mom used vanilla wafers, crushed for crust, and whole at edges. The pies disappeared almost instantly. Limes came along a few years later.
My grandmother taught me how to make this version of Lemon Meringue when I was a child in California and would go outside and pick the lemons off our tree *wish I could still do that!* and it's always been my favourite. Thank you for posting!
Tammi MacClellan Heupel Sounds wonderful! Happy memories.....
@Tammie MacClellan Heupei As a Canadian, I hate you for being able to go and 'pick lemons off your tree' - I'm kidding. It's PURE jealousy because I LOVE lemon anything!
I grew up with lemons in California, and my desiderata for my adult life was "a clapboard house with a big front porch, a picket fence, and lemon trees." I got the clapboard house, a smaller front porch, a picket fence, but no lemon trees here in Montana. Apples. Raspberries. No lemons. Alas. I, too, wish I could still go outside and just pick some lemons.
I used a full 14oz can of condensed milk thinking it was the same size. It still set just fine. The second time I made it, I just happened to have some wild black raspberries, so I macerated them and put them on the crust before I poured in the filling. I also used a third egg white the second time I made this to have a bigger meringue. Thanks for doing this one, itâs a new house favorite quick dessert.
I am the same. I love lemon anything.
In Memphis, TN we call that a "Lemon Ice Box Pie." They feature at several famous restaurants in and around Memphis. The texture is heavenly!
I was THINKING that this was an Ice Box Pie!
its funny how long that name has struck around. "Ice box pies" were a special type of dessert, especially in warmer places like the south, since ice was fairly expensive at the time and so iced desserts were a special treat as opposed to the cheaper/easy fruit pies. People in warmer areas HAD to buy ice for their ice boxes and they had to be imported from farther away, increasing their cost but the ice was cheaper up north and in some areas people even had their own ice houses where they would harvest ice for free in the winter and save it into the summer but in areas without natural ice or frost it had to be imported, often from lakes in New England.
It's my mom's favorite, and we always have it in my family for Christmas Eve -- a doubled recipe in a 9" x 13" pan.
@@EricRodgers1975 That's a great idea, making it in a pan
That lemon pie looks great and must be so delicious too and I love lemon pies so much. Your wife is so fortunate to have someone who can bake like you do.
Always excited for the Old Cookbook Show!
I use this lemon filling in squares. It's essentially similar to a date square, but with lemon filling. People always love it.
A slab pie?
@@maranscandy9350 Probably more like lemon bars.
Sarah, do you mean with the oats, butter brown sugar etc.? And at what temperature do you cook it.
I used to make a pineapple ice box pie ....just Eagle Brand, juice of 3 lemons and a can of crushed pineapple well drained. I used a pastry crust of graham cracker crust. My favorite summer pie. No eggs in this one... and a dollop of whipped cream on top if you wish. Thanks for sharing this one.
Sounds terrific, what's the recipe for your pineapple pie ?
I love how you bring back some old time recipes, simple, easy and no fuss! I learned easy desserts growing up on my own with many mistakes but now I love them even more!
Thank you for making this pie. I've had this many times as a child but didn't have the recipe. Now, I do. Thank you again.
Julie was many excited. And I am totally with her, that pie looked magical.
Looks delicious.
I'm with Julie - Lemon Meringue Pie is my favourite, and given the choice - I'll usually pick that over many other things.
Then again, if I find myself in a French Patisserie , as I have on occasion, and there's a slice of Citron tart - with, or without meringue - well, I'm not going to pass that up. It's certainly one way to brighten up a day.
My issue with most versions of the lemon/citron pie/tart is that often they're not lemony enough. The ones I find here in Australia seem to have been driven past a lemon, or maybe prepared in a kitchen which had an empty bottle of lemon essence in the pantry.
I'm 71. My Grandmother taught me to make this, Lemon Icebox Pie, in the 1950's. 4 eggs, 6 lemons, Vanilla Wafers.
When I married, I could make this, Chocolate Chip Cookies, and hamburgers. LOL.
Still married, he calls the meringue, calf slobbers:)
Jen Jenn đđđŒ
We do too!
My mom's lemon icebox pie is like this. She topped with meringue and baked until brown. We loved it!!đ„§
This is a winner at my house thanks to Glen. The kids love it, the wife loves it and itâs so simple.
I watched this vid about 3 yrs ago and havenât stopped making it.
Great video! The taste, ease of making, and limited ingredients make it a winner! The family all love it.
phenomenal đđ. This is bringing me back to my childhood. I'm pretty happy you are creating these classic pie recipes. Looking forward to key lime pie!! Thanks for sharing.
Probably watched all your videos at this point, have them on playlist to just continue watching all the things you cook. Never attempted a recipe, would love to, but I still end up watching everything you make! Fantastic channel
Lemon meringue pie is my favorite!
Love the food history recipes.
Thank you for all these great recipes. đ
Grandma used to make the earlier recipe with the cooked filling and I would wait patiently in the kitchen for it to come out of the oven. I loved eating it while it was still warm
I love the history you give us.
I used to make this back in the day. I need to make this again. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite pie!!! Now I want to make one. Thank you for sharing đđđ
Omg what could be better than this pie itâs my favorite one â€â€â€â€ I guess everyone has their personal favorite thanks for sharing.
You can switch out lime for lemon 1 to 1 on this recipe and it's fantastic.
This is a meta-recipe from a meta-history from THE mega cooking channel on CZcams!!!đđđ Truly amazing - as per usual. You've upped the ante on the Sunday morning old cookbook series! Thank you!
I love lemon pie, favorite dessert hands down, definitely gonna try it.
^ same. I'm looking forward to the key lime pie episode.
Thankyou...i bought a gramcracker crust and looking for quick easy receipe to try for the first time. I am going to try thisđ
I made this last night, and it was both very easy, and absolutely delicious! We ate over half of it between the two of us, and would have kept going had we not eaten dinner earlier. This has shot to #1 on our Sunday afternoon baking list!
Yum. Thank you.
I have my own lemon meringue pie recipe that I'm happy with, it uses 6 eggs but you 2 are such a lovely couple , you really listen to each other and know each others mind
Such a wholesome video
I just made it! Canât wait to try it!
Iâve never added the meringue into a pie before. That is interesting and Iâll have to try it.
This is one of the 3 more popular desserts in Brazil, the main difference being that most people here use condensed milk, lime juice and pouring cream instead of the yolks. The other two popular desserts are
1 - condensed milk flan (or creme-caramel), aka "Pudim"
3 - egg yolk and coconut custard pudding, aka "Quindim", which came from a Portuguese recipe made with ground almonds that were substituted in the tropics with ground coconut.
Ok, that does look like a winner for sure. Guess Iâm making that pie this weekend.
Made this today with 3 eggs and a little more lemon juice. Turned out perfectly. I could even see 4 eggs working for more meringue. I used to make lemon pie making a custard from scratch, but I will do it this way from now on. So much faster and easier.
You deserve more subs, these types of vids are awesome. Also somewhat preserves classic ways foods/drinks were made
Iâm going to try it chef Glen đđ I will use your tip and fold the meringue with the batter to make it taste less lemonyđ
I made the Lemon Meringue in the 80's and 90's, using a 1970's Betty Crocker Cookbook (which took several hours of searching last year to replace with a similar copy). It was sweet and tart and definitely one of my family's favorites. Perfect for a hot summer day in the south, which is one of the reasons they were so popular down here in the US! Yes, even though we had to bake them in an oven.
I can't wait for the keylime pie recipe! My grandmother in FL would make a great keylime pie from scratch. She was born in the 1910s so its possible your recipe is the one she used!
Lemon meringue pie is a dish that my grandma used to make back in the 80s/90s before she passed away. She from Northamptonshire, England.
Lemon meringue pie is used to be popular in restaurants back in the early 90s, unfortunately I haven't seen one for sale recently in England.
Make one! :)
@@Grayald Two American restaurant chains that consistently have lemon meringue pies are Perkins (www.perkinsrestaurants.com/menu/bakery/fantastic-fruit-pies/) and Marie Callender's (www.mariecallenders.com/famous-pies). I grew up in the Midwest and many restaurants there (especially restaurants close to Amish communities) have lemon meringue pies.
Morrisons Cafe usually has a slice of lemon meringue pie on offer. It's surprisingly decent, although nothing really beats a home made one. I became something of an expert with Delia Smith's recipe for it when I was young (from her Complete Cookery Course) and now I've got saddled with the job of making it most Christmases, Easters and some other family gatherings. Fortunately it's pretty easy to make and it's so worth the effort! And you could even buy a pastry case instead of messing around with making shortcrust if you really wanted.
Lemon meringue pie was popular in the United States for decades and decades my mother used to make it my grandmother made it my aunt made it but like you I don't see around anymore and I love lemon meringue pie I had a couple of espresso bars one in New York City 7 years ago I decided to have some lemon meringue pie for the customers and I made it myself it was delicious but you know something hardly anybody bought it some things just fall out of favor for whatever reason I still make it all the time especially if it's made with graham cracker crust. I love it!
They were also popular in the 60`s in diners along with coconut custard pie and now never heard of
Geeze! It only took me 16 videos with French, Swiss, American, recipes that I just wanted the damn recipe my mom and grandma would have used that I was looking for without the fuss. Itâs a simple recipe. I donât want fancy crap! I want their recipe!!!! Thank you!!!!! â€ïžđđđđ
My gran used to make an amazing lemon meringue pie when she was alive, this makes me want to make another.
I would,love to try this one out đđđ
Once in a blue moon my mom would make lemon merengue and I loved it. I might have to try this and share it with her.
Finally this was the cream pie i was looking for
I was going through my cupboard and itâs gotten kind of lean in between grocery store trips because of the pandemic and was trying to find a good cheap easy desert other than Jello and I happened to have these ingredients and made this pie thank you
Relooking at this video in 2022. I really like your Mum's Island pie too. I am planning to make it this week. Happy Easter Glen and friends.
Lemon meringue pie is my absolute favorite! My mom used to make it the cooked way, that took longer. But, boy, was it ever good! Very lemony and mile-high meringue. Thanks for the memories. I will try this recipe because it looks easy AND delicious, but I might try your momâs way of using 4 eggs. Thank you for this recipe!
Oh, wow, this sounds yummy. It's easier than the traditional lemon meringue pie. A great pie for the summer!
Oh how lovely. Than you.
I must be an anomaly, I dislike a large amount of meringue on my lemon pies.
No, you aren't an anomaly, I hate meringue.
Roy Bokelman Iâm with you. That amount of meringue was plenty
When eating a lemon meringue pie I will slice about half of the meringue off the pie before eating. Less is better for me.
Not a meringue fan either âșïž
Me too!
I put the lemon zest in the pie crust also, we love lemon in our family
I used 3 eggs, prebaked butter crust, orange zest and reconstituted lemon juice. It came out beautifully. Thank you.
Hahaha classic Lemon Meringue Pie! I haven't made that since my school days.
I just made this!! Thanks
Since I'm a kid my mom makes me this pie, but with limes instead (green lemons). Much better than a key-lime pie.
I keep bookmarking videos I want to try, so far did one, the Lemon Podding Cake, it was amazing.
Looks great! Keep up the good work.đđŒ
As always, love the authentic approach. Thanks, Glenn!
This video will be saved, finally foolproof method for me, thanks :))
I use a crumb crust, made using ginger biscuits. It goes sooo well with the lemon.
I've been making this pie over 55 years and my Mother made it before I did, the only change we've made, our family doesn't like meringue, so Mom stopped making it with meringue but cooked the pie about 10 mins to cook the egg yolks, the last years, we serve the pie with whipped cream. Most family members prefer it plain. It's a delicious pie. We have always made this pie with a homemade graham cracker crust. We have a lemon tree in the yard so we always used fresh juice.
My mouth was watering and my memories of my mother were clamoring while watching this video. Finally made it yesterday. Used 2 lemons for the rind and it turned out to be as mouthwateringly fantastic as I remember. This recipe is going to be put in my ABSOLUTE FAVOIRITES RECIPES book....thank you!!!
So after the pie is baked does it go straight in the refrigerator??
@@mif3609 Normally I imagine it would but I didn't, I waited for it to cool down and dug in. So GOOD because room temp because I found it more flavourful. And it still held its shape beautifully!
Another great adventure... My Mom also made a tasty Lemon Meringue pie. But her specialty was a Chocolate Meringue pie that was excellent! Thanks.
Wednesdays were my favourite school day - double art, chips and lemon meringue pie for lunch!
Lemon is a favorite.
man, my mouth was watering thinking of lemon pie. that and peanut butter pie are my favorite pies.
I find it interesting how raw egg yolks mixed into the filling and you didnât need to cook it, how way back when people didnât have a cow and make people scared about eating raw eggs but again back then our food wasnât as contaminated as now a days. Love the recipe from the old cook books which I have also and love the way you presented it!
My mom made this for my dad. It was his favorite dessert.
OMG!!!đČ I now know that there are at least 2 of you! My brother also prefers and always had lemon meringue pie made by my mom for his birthday. Must be a Canadian thing.
I JUST discovered your channel!!!!
Yâall are really great. Love your style of presentation. Entertaining and informative.
I can still hear my great aunt saying "it is all in the presentation" - she used to make these.
My Mom always made lemon meringue pie. I used the recipe from the Betty Crocker Cookbook circa 70s. Their recipes always come out perfect. We both had mile-high meringue. đ I havenât made it since the 80s, people just donât seem to like the tartness the way I, we did then.
In the late 50s and 60s I grew up making this pie but always had to make a pie crust that I backed first. It was attached to Eagle Brand sweet condensed milk can when I was a child.
Will have to get some lemons when I go shopping and give this a try, be interesting to see if there is much difference from one made with lemon curd. Would love try one with the meringue folded into the lemon mixture as well for comparison.
Love your channel!
I have a 9 inch Fire King peach luster pie plate that is shallow, and perfect for pies like this.
I will try this. I make a Lemon Meringue that is amazine. But I thought I would look for a lemon cream. Here's a tip. Replace the lemon with orange. yum.
I am going to make this, the only difference being the shell, i use ginger biscuits, works really well with the lemon.
My mother in law made this pie. When I was17 years old at the time, I'm 75 now, It's very rich, so you want to eat a small slice of it.. It was to rich for me to eat, but my sister in laws love it. lolđ€
My mum has made lemon cream pie for years. Last year she started making avocado pie which is similar, and damn is it good.
California lemons are just bursting on our trees now ... I have four full bags on my kitchen counter awaiting juicing and freezing. This looks like a great recipe!đđ
Good choice of crust. .anytime I make something with lemons or lemon flavor and it calls for a crust.... graham cracker is the best. and the thicker the crust the better. ..looks delicious. .will have to try this one. ..
My grandparents had a key lime tree in their front yard in Key Largo. Got a lot of good Key lime pies out of it.
Thanks a lot Glen now Iâm off to make a lemon meringue pie, Iâm a pie junkie. đ„§
Could you make a lemon/pineapple cheese pie? My grandma from Vermont used to make it but I haven't found it anywhere.
I want to try this so bad!!! :} It looks amazingly tasty đ
So yummy
Absolute best pie. But I was taught to cook the pie about 20 to 30 minutes before placing meringue and baking it till golden.
Made. Double chocolate ice cream and saved the egg whites for the pie ..total 6 eggs whites.. looks great...
Came out perfect
i make this all the time my favourite version is with lemon and lime but orange works to which the kids prefer also i use a hobnob base
Only chef on YT honest enough to lick the beaters on camera.
i make this in a square 9 inch cake pan and serve with Cool Whip. Delicious!
