3.Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until center is set but still slightly wobbly. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. Cool to room temperature. If baking the pie in advance of serving, refrigerate pie until ready to serve.

Place bowl on mixer; whisk on high speed until stiff glossy peaks form. Spoon meringue onto pie and spread to cover completely.
