I assume you agree asking about pie that is made from lemon flavored made from scratch pudding containing eggs in the filling and in the Meringue. Unless pasteurized eggs are used the meringue may contain bacteria harmful to humans. To have a beautiful mounded meringue with only the peaks turning light brown, the interior of the meringue is not cooked to the necessary 165 degrees F.
Although the lemon in the filling increases the acidity compared to other cream pies, Unless the pie is consumed within 4 hours of preparation, it should be refrigerated. If you left the egg whites out of the refrigerator to warm because they will then whip to a greater volume, All that time out of the refrigerator counts as part of the 4 hours.
The USDA says it is necessary to refrigerate cream pies such as your Lemon. When cooking only for your own family or a few guests, the more lenient standard of 4 hours at room temperature is used.
Refrigeration can greatly decrease the quality of your pie. The filling may become too stiff and rubbery. The Meringue will suffer from the humid environment causing syrupy droplets.
I love lemon meringue pie. I buy pasteurized eggs (available in the shell), prepare the crust ahead of time, and measure all the ingredients. Then I can successfully prepare the pie very close to serving time.

∙ 14y agoYes! Meringue is made from egg whites, which need to be refrigerated so they don't go bad.
