Mom's 5-Star Lemon Meringue Pie
Description
Though this pie goes in the oven briefly to brown the meringue, it's otherwise a no-bake solution for your lemon meringue pie needs.
Ingredients
•
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
•
6 egg yolks
•
1/2 cup lemon juice
•
2 teaspoons lemon zest
•
1 (8 inch) deep dish graham cracker pie crust
•
6 egg whites
•
1/4 cup white sugar
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2
Beat sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a bowl until smooth; pour into pie crust.
3
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.
4
Bake pie in preheated oven until the tips of the topping begin to brown, about 3 minutes.
