Ingredients

  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 (8-inch) prebaked pie shell or crumb crust

Meringue:

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream or tartar
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Directions

In medium bowl, combine milk, lemon juice, and zest; blend in egg yolks. Pour into cooled crust.

    I have tried to make a good lemon meringue pie for my husband for the 44 1/2 years we have been married. It never turned out, either too runny or congealed with the meringue separating from the lemon pudding. This one is perfect .... very easy and DELICIOUS!!!

    I made this pie for the first time and it was very good. The condensed milk gives it a different texture but still works great. The crust was amazing and I will use this receipe everytime. It came out very flaky and buttery. I will say that you do need to put the filling in the frdge overnight and then bake at least 15 mins while making the merinuge and whip it at least 10 mins or more. If you have patience it will turn out great. I will def make this pie again. Thank you Paula for making it so easy and yummy!
