Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let cool, about 30 minutes. Fold in sour cream; pour into the baked pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Beat egg whites, sugar, and cornstarch together in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue on top of filling, right up to the edge of the crust. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Broil in the preheated oven until meringue is lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve immediately.
