Moms 5-Star Lemon Meringue Pie Recipe

  • Filling:
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 (8 inch) deep dish graham cracker pie crust
  • 6 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Beat sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a bowl until smooth; pour into pie crust.
  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.
  4. Bake pie in preheated oven until the tips of the topping begin to brown, about 3 minutes.
