Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 6 egg whites
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 c. lime juice (fresh if possible)
  • 3/4 c. sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. sugar (keep separate)
  • 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust

Method

  • Beat egg yolks until lemon color. Add condensed milk slowly. Combine lime juice with 3 tablespoons sugar and then add to mixture; mix well. In a separate bowl, add cream of tartar to egg whites and whip. When whites become foamy, begin adding sugar a little at a time until the whites peak. Fold 6 tablespoons of egg whites into the filling mixture. Pour filling into the pie shell. Top with the meringue. Bake at 330° until meringue turns golden brown. Let cool. Enjoy.
