Yield:

1 8-inch deep dish pie

Ingredients

2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
6 egg yolks
½ cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 (8 inch) deep dish graham cracker pie crust
6 egg whites
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Beat sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a bowl until smooth; pour into pie crust.

Step 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.

Step 4

Bake pie in preheated oven until the tips of the topping begin to brown, about 3 minutes.
