Eagle Brand

• Servings: 8
• Nutrition: See Below
• Prep Time: 15 Minutes
• Cook Time: 45 Minutes

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs, separated
• 1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon grated lime peel*
• 2 or 3 drops green food coloring
• 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

• HEAT oven to 350°F. Beat egg yolks in medium bowl on low speed of electric mixer. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk and lime juice until smooth. Blend in cream, lime peel and food coloring, if desired. Pour into unbaked pie crust. Bake 25 minutes. Remove from oven.
• BEAT egg whites and cream of tartar in medium bowl on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar on medium speed. Beat 4 minutes or until sugar is dissolved and stiff glossy peaks form. Spread over hot pie, carefully sealing to edge of crust to prevent meringue from shrinking.
• BAKE an additional 15 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Cool 1 hour on wire rack. Chill at least 3 hours before serving. 

Cindy's NOTES

I prefer Whipped Cream on my pie, use a little more grated lime peel, less food coloring and use Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crust.
