How to Prepare Lemon Meringue Pie [Vegan]

Blend all of the filling ingredients in a blender until smooth, then carefully pour it into the graham cracker crust.
Using a standing or electric mixer, whisk the aquafaba until stiff peaks form. Add in the cream of tartar, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Whisk on high again until the stiff peaks have reformed.
Pipe or scoop the meringue on top of the pie filling. Refrigerate the pie overnight to allow the meringue to stiffen.
When you are ready to serve, you can lightly brown the top of the meringue by using a kitchen torch or by placing the pie under the broiler for 2-4 minutes. Top with powdered sugar if desired.
