Ingredients
- 1 packet crushed tennis biscuits
- ½ cup lemon juice
- ½ cup margarine
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1 tin condensed milk
- 150ml caster sugar
Method
- Melt the margarine and add to the crushed tennis biscuits.
- Mix the two together so that the biscuit crumbs bind to each other. (You may need to add a little more melted margarine).
- Spray a foil 20cm tart tin with Spray and Cook and press the biscuit crumbs firmly into the tin. (Make sure you press the crumbs up the sides of the tin too).
- Cook until slightly brown (about 5 minutes). Add the egg yolks to the condensed milk and stir the mixture adding the lemon juice.
- Pour the mixture into the tart tin.
- Cook for about 15 minutes.
- Whisk the egg whites until they are stiff, you should be able to turn the bowl over and they won't fall out.
- Slowly add the sugar, whisking in a tablespoon at a time until all the sugar is added. (The mixture should hold its shape and be very shiny).
- Spoon the meringue over the pie and cook until light golden.
