FABULOUS KEY LIME PIE WITH MERINGUE
Nothing screams summer more than the tart flavor of a key lime pie. Andrea's recipe is fabulous! The key lime filling is smooth, creamy, and full of tangy flavor. Meringue on top adds a layer of fluffy goodness and helps cut some of the tartness.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix egg yolks and condensed milk together. Then stir in lime juice, zest, and cream.
- 2. Pour into a pie crust and bake for 30 minutes. Set your timer for 20 minutes. When your timer goes off, begin the following steps:
- 3. Wisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
- 4. In a second bowl, mix the sugar, corn starch, and salt.
- 5. Add the sugar mixture a LITTLE at a time to the egg whites, beating between additions. Continue until the sugar dissolves. Hint: If the sugar does not dissolve properly, you will have little amber-colored "drops" on top of the meringue. It's fine, it just not be what you are going for!
- 6. By now the pie should be done. Remove it and spoon meringue mixture on top, lightly "tapping" your spoon on the covered pie to give a wispy look.
- 7. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the top is a light golden brown. This pie is fabulous warm or cold!
