To make this Light Meringue Pie with a Holiday Twist, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of melted butter


For the filling:

- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup of lemon juice
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
For the meringue:

- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and bake for 10 minutes.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Pour the mixture into the baked crust and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Next, prepare the meringue. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the sugar and vanilla extract, beating until stiff peaks form.
Spread the meringue over the filling, making sure to seal the edges. Use a spatula to create peaks on the meringue. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
Once done, let the pie cool completely before serving. The Light Meringue Pie with a Holiday Twist is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors, with a light and airy texture that melts in your mouth. This dish is a perfect dessert for any festive occasion, and is sure to impress your guests with its delicious taste and beautiful appearance.
