Serves/Makes: 8
Ready in: 30-60 minutes
***Graham Cracker Crust***
- 4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
***Filling***
- 2 cans sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Key lime juice, fresh
- 8 egg yolks
***Meringue***
- 8 egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
For Graham Cracker Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the cracker crumbs, sugar and butter together. Line a 9 inch pie tin with the cracker mix, pressing firmly to line bottom and sides. Bake for 8 minutes at 350 degrees F. For Filling: Whisk the condensed milk with the lime juice and egg yolks in a stainless steel bowl. Pour into the pre-baked graham cracker shell. Set aside while making the meringue. For Meringue: Beat the egg whites to a soft peak; add cream of tartar and continue to whip to a stiff peak. Continue whipping and add the sugar, whipping until the meringue forms stiff peaks. Decoratively add meringue on top of the custard. Bake for 15-30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Cook until the meringue has good color. Check with a wooden skewer or cake tester to be sure the custard is done. NOTE: Be sure the bowl and whisk used to beat the egg whites is very clean, otherwise the egg whites will not form a stiff peak.
