If you don’t like meringue you can top it with whipped cream and toasted coconut. So good! But I love meringue. J
It took 8 minutes for the filling to thicken.

You can turn any pudding based pie recipe into a microwaved version by following your recipe for the ingredients and then using the cooking instructions from this recipe. I make my lemon meringue pie in the microwave and my chocolate pie. I also make my pecan pralines in the microwave and my peanut brittle. I love the microwave! :)
My mom has an excellent microwave fudge recipe. :) And you look fabulous!!! So does the pie. :)
