Lemon Meringue Pie (Vegan and Gluten-free)

My father loves lemon meringue, so when I went to his house for Easter, I made one. The result is this creamy pie, with a hint of tartness, and a lemon poppyseed crust made from Bobo Bars.

I wanted a little more lemon flavor but was concerned with the texture of the pie if I added more lemon juice. So instead I added 5 drops of Young Living Lemon Vitality.
