Ingredients
- 180 grams plain biscuits (Milk Coffee, Marie Biscuits, Graham Crackers or similar)
- 90 grams butter, melted
- 395 gram tin condensed milk
- ½ cup lemon juice (2-3 lemons)
- 2 teaspoons lemon rind (from one lemon)
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup caster sugar (superfine sugar)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to moderate (180 degrees celsius/355 degrees fahrenheit).
- Grease your pie tin well with softened butter and line with baking paper.
- Crush biscuits using a food processor or chopper to a fine crumb (or a rolling pin if you want to go old school).
- Combine biscuit crumbs and melted butter in a mixing bowl.
- Press mixture firmly into the greased cake tin – coating bottom and sides – and place into fridge to chill.
- Separate the egg whites into one bowl and the yolks into another – you'll need both.
- In another bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon rind and egg yolks until combined and smooth.
- Spoon the mixture into the chilled biscuit crumb crust.
- Beat egg whites until stiff. Gradually add sugar, beating after each addition, to create a meringue.
- Spoon meringue onto top of pie, completely covering the condensed milk mixture.
- Bake in oven for 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool and then place into fridge to set for at least 4 hours.
