Creamy Lemon Meringue Pie

Lemon Meringue Pie is one of my top favorite desserts (well, next to Key Lime Pie). I like the “lightness” after a full meal, and the combination of sweet and tangy with a bit of creamy is for me the best way to end dinner.

The following recipe was shared by my co-worker Michael at the international potlock we had at the office around Thanksgiving. Michael did a great job and the pie was gone shortly after it was served. Hey, it can’t be too difficult if a guy can bake the perfect Lemon Meringue Pie, so give it a try!

Okay, you know I was just joking right? (Michael’s line)
Because we all know that some of the best cooks are men, so don’t throw anything at me ๐Ÿ™‚

Ingredients:

1 8 or 9โ€ graham cracker crumb crust
3 egg yolks (reserve whites for meringue)
1 can of Eagle Brand condensed milk
ยฝ cup of ReaLemon lemon juice
ยผ teaspoon of cream of tarter
1/3 cup of sugar
