Ingredients

• For the crust:
• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• For the filling:
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• ¾ cup lime juice
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• For the meringue:
• 4 large egg whites
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until well combined and press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
3. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.
4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest, and continue whisking until well combined.
5. Pour the filling mixture into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the filling is set.
7. While the pie is baking, prepare the meringue. In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
8. Gradually add the granulated sugar, a spoonful at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed until stiff peaks form and the meringue is glossy.
9. Remove the pie from the oven and spread the meringue evenly over the top, making sure to seal the edges.
10. Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely on a wire rack.
12. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving.
13. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the tangy and creamy flavors of this Aussie lime pie!
