For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lime juice. Bottled lime juice can have a slightly metallic taste. Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of grease when making the meringue. Any trace of fat can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, you can brush it with melted chocolate or an egg white before adding the filling. If the meringue starts to brown too quickly in the oven, tent the pie loosely with foil.

Each bite is a journey from zesty citrus to airy sweetness, all nestled in a crisp graham cracker crust.
