LEMON MERINGUE PIE

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.
