This is a great recipe. I prefere it to the 'real thing'. The first time I made this, the filling was waaay too runny. The second time I made it, I used freshly squeezed lemon juice and it came up a real treat. I have since made it a few times, and it is one of my favorite desserts. It works really well with a biscuit crust.

The pie was deffinately creamy, the the taste of lemon went very well with the condensed milk. My only problem was that the actual lemon part below the merengue turned out more like a thickened pudding (a little runny). Next time I'll try cooking/cooling the inside then adding the merengue and browning it for a shorter period at a higher temperature?
