How to Make Graham Cracker Puddin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a ziplock bag and rolling pin.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and softened butter. Mix until well combined.
  4. Press crumb mixture firmly into a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Bake for 7 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
  6. Gradually whisk in the warmed milk until smooth.
  7. Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
  9. Pour the cooled pudding filling into the cooled graham cracker crust.
  10. Brush the top of the filling with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
  11. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks form.
  12. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  13. Add cream of tartar and beat until stiff, firm peaks form.
  14. Spread the meringue evenly over the pie filling, ensuring it touches the crust to seal.
  15. Place the pie under a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  16. Let the pie cool completely before serving. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for best results.
