This was excellent! This was indeed quite different from the traditional lemon meringue pies..it has more the texture of a key lime pie in a way (only lemon flavored of course). I used fat free sweetened condensed milk instead of the the full fat and it still was very rich, creamy, and delicious. Also, I made a homemade graham cracker crust rather than the "ready" crust.
