Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup fresh calamansi juice
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
3 large egg yolks
3 large egg whites
1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9 inches)
3 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
If using a homemade crust, combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter, press into a pie dish, and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Cool.
In a bowl, whisk together calamansi juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks until smooth. Pour into the cooled crust.
Beat egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks form, gradually adding sugar until stiff peaks form.
Spread meringue over the filling, ensuring it touches the edges of the crust.
Bake again for 10-15 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Cool before slicing.
