Zesty Lemon Meringue Cream Pie: A Delightful Citrus Treat!

Make the Meringue:

1. In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form.
2. Gradually add sugar, a tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Beat in vanilla.
3. Spread meringue over the warm filling, sealing the edges all around the crust to prevent shrinking.

Bake:

1. Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
2. Cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.

🍽️ Serving Tips:

• Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.
• Garnish with lemon zest curls or a dusting of powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
• Store leftovers in the fridge, loosely covered.

💡 Pie Perfection Tips:
