Ingredients

• 1 refrigerated pie crust
• 1 , 14 ounce
• 3 eggs , separated
• 0.5 cups lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest
• 0.25 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 0.5 cups white sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Press pie crust into a pie plate.
2. 2 Mix sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a bowl; pour into pie crust.
3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
4. 4 Five minutes before pie is done, beat egg whites and cream of tartar together in a bowl using an electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Slowly add sugar to egg white mixture and continue beating until meringue forms stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.
5. 5 Remove pie from oven and increase temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread meringue onto warm pie, making sure meringue goes all the way to the edges creating a seal. Using the back of a spoon, dab the meringue and pull up, creating peaks across the pie.
6. 6 Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature for 1 hour and store in the refrigerator.
