Meringue Pie Crust

Crisp, sweet and light-as-a-feather, fat-free meringue pie crust is perfect for cooked and fresh fruit, pudding and cream fillings.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Cooking Directions:

1. In a large bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Add vanilla; beat in sugar until very stiff and glossy. Spread mixture into a 9-inch pie plate to form a shell.
2. Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 50 minutes. Turn oven off without opening oven door and leave crust in for 1 hour. Cool before filling.

Makes 1 (9-inch) pie crust.
