Time 23m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
6 egg yolks
½ cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 (8 inch) deep dish graham cracker pie crust
6 egg whites
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Beat sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a bowl until smooth; pour into pie crust.
  • Beat egg whites with an electric mixer in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks; spoon onto the pie to cover completely.
  • Bake pie in preheated oven until the tips of the topping begin to brown, about 3 minutes.
