How to Make Islamorada Key Lime Pie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk and 4 large egg yolks until light and creamy. (About 8 minutes with a mixer on medium speed).
Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup (120ml) freshly squeezed Key lime juice.
Mix on low speed for 1 second to combine.
Gently fold the mixture a few times with a rubber spatula to ensure even consistency.
Pour the filling into a 9-inch baked pie crust.
In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until soft peaks form. (About 5 minutes).
Gradually add 1/4 cup granulated sugar while beating on high speed.
Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form (about 5 more minutes).
Gently spread the meringue over the key lime filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
