Prepare my easy keto pie crust recipe and bake as the recipe says. Set aside to cool and make the lemon curd filling.

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks.
Recipe Note: Save egg whites in the fridge for the Swiss meringue topping.
In another small bowl whisk the hot water and gelatin with a whisk. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over a medium heat, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, allulose, salt, and whisked egg yolks. Allow the lemon mixture to come to a low simmer.
Slowly whisk in the bloomed gelatin mixture into the egg yolk mixture with a whisk. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes over medium heat then add the butter and stir until melted and combined. Allow to cool slightly for a couple of minutes.
Spoon the lemon filling into cooled pie crust. Place the pie in the fridge overnight until set.

Preheat the oven to broil.
In a stand mixer bowl, place the egg whites, sweetener and salt. If you don't have a stand mixer, use a large bowl.
Bring a saucepan with a few inches of water to a simmer. Set the mixing bowl over the simmering water making sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl.
Continuously stir the mixture until the whites are warm to the touch, about 4-5 minutes. If you're using a powdered sweetener, check by dipping your finger into the mixture and rubbing it between your fingers making sure the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Remove the mixing bowl and bring to stand mixer base. Lock in place with the whisk attachment or use an electric hand mixer. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until it's foamy.
Gradually increase speed until the meringue has stiff peaks, about 4-5 minutes.
Spread meringue on top of the lemon curd filling to the edges of the crust of the pie. Smooth over the top, making swirls with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Place meringue under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Careful not to burn. Option to use a blow torch if you like.

Best to serve immediately once meringue has been made but leftovers can be covered with plastic wrap or airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
