Time 2h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups fine graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter, melted
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 large egg yolks, whites reserved for meringue
3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • For the crust: In a mixing bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar until combined. Then, stir in the melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie plate and set aside.
  • For the filling: In a medium bowl, mix the condensed milk, lemon juice, zest and egg yolks, reserving the whites for the meringue. Pour the mixture into the crust.
  • For the meringue: Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, then add the sugar and whip until peaks are stiff.
  • Spread the meringue over the pie and seal to the edge of the crust. Bake until the meringue browns slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Yield Makes enough for one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • With an electric mixer on medium speed, whisk egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add sugar. Increase speed and whisk until meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks. Whisk in vanilla.
  • Spoon meringue onto surface of the pie until it reaches the crust, then use an offset spatula to create a swirling pattern.
  • If desired, use a kitchen torch to toast the meringue, moving flame back and forth until evenly browned. Or brown the meringue under the broiler, but keep an eye on it-a minute or two is all you need.
