Lemon Ice Box Pie

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
2 large fresh eggs, separated (see Food Safety)
1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust
4 tablespoons granulated sugar

1. In a medium bowl combine condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest and egg yolks; mix well. Pour into pie crust and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
2. Meanwhile, beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
3. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
4. Remove pie from refrigerator and top with beaten egg whites, spreading to the edge of the crust to seal. Bake until just browned, about 12 minutes. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
