Lemon cloud pie

Here is a way to cook lemon meringue pie in microwave oven. Since meringue on top of a pie does not cook well in the oven, fold it into the filling to make a light, creamy texture.
Items required
9-inch baked pastry shell
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 to 1/3 cup lemon juice
2 eggs, separated
1 package (3oz.) cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar

Setting : High
1.In mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar with cornstarch. Stir in water, lemon peel and juice.
2.Separate eggs, placing whites in small mixer bowl and yolks in measuring cup or small bowl. Beat egg yolks slightly and add to lemon mixture, stirring to combine.
3.Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes or until mixture starts to bubble, stirring occasionally during last half of cooking time.
4.Add cream cheese and allow to soften; mix well. Cook mixture until it begins to thicken. Beat egg whites until foamy.
5.Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar, beating until mixture forms stiff peaks. Fold into lemon mixture. Pour into pastry shell.
6.Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until served.
