LEMON MERINGUE PIE

Instructions 

Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest (or extract), and egg yolks. Stir until thickened.
Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
Step 2: Make the Meringue
In another bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on high speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating on medium speed for about 4 minutes, or until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake
Spread the meringue over the pie filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Let the pie cool completely before slicing.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Tips for Success
Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
For a shortcut, use a store-bought pie crust.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
