How to Make Eagle Brand's Key Lime Pie

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, beat 4 large egg yolks until pale and slightly thickened.
Gradually beat in 1 (14 ounce) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk and 1 cup Key lime juice until smooth.
Stir in 2-3 drops of yellow food coloring (optional).
Pour filling into a 9-inch prepared graham cracker crust.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, prepare the meringue: In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Gradually add 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 4 minutes.
Immediately spread the meringue evenly over the hot pie filling, sealing it to the edge of the crust to prevent shrinking.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before serving.
Store covered in the refrigerator.
