I made this pie for Lynn's Birthday yesterday. It's really easy and tastes soooo good!
Ice Box Lemon Meringue Pie
1 can of sweetened Condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 large eggs, separated
grind of one lemon (I know they mean zest....old recipe)
1/4 tsp lemon extract (optional...I never use)
1 8 inch graham cracker pie crust (I like the shortbread kind)
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
Blend the milk, juice, egg yolks, lemon rind and extract until it thickens
Pour into pie shell
Cover with meringue made by:
beating the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Add sugar gradually and continue beating.
Bake pie in a 350 degree oven until meringue is golden brown (about 20 minutes). Chill before serving...at least one hour.
Serves 6-8
(this came from one of my Grandmother's Alabama Home Ec Teacher's cook books from the '60's)
Pie filling in the crust waiting for the meringue
This is about how I like the meringue to look for this pie before putting it on the pie filling.
Pie after baking for about 20 minutes
It was delish! Thanks for looking!
