Preparation

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar. Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish; set aside. With an electric or stand mixer on high speed, beat sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks for at least 3 minutes. Gradually add lemon juice, stirring until mixture thickens and is well blended. Pour filling into crust. In another bowl, beat room temperature egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add sugar, and continue beating until egg whites are stiff and glossy. Carefully spread meringue over filling, sealing the edges. Bake in preheated oven until meringue browns, about 6 minutes. Cool. Refrigerate until serving.
