Ingredients

  • 8 crackers graham crackers
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup lemon juice, fresh
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 6 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Crush graham crackers into crumbs. Stir with melted butter until combined, then divide among four glasses.

  2. 2

    Whisk condensed milk and lemon juice until thick and pale, about 2 minutes — mixture will thicken as acid cooks the milk.

  3. 3

    Spoon lemon curd over the crust in each glass.

  4. 4

    Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, ~1 minute.

  5. 5

    Gradually add sugar while beating until stiff, glossy peaks form, ~2 minutes total.

  6. 6

    Top each cup with a generous dollop of meringue. Chill until ready to serve, at least 10 minutes.

Tools you’ll need
