Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cups (125 mL) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tsp (15 mL) butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) E.D.SMITH® Lemon Spread
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) cream of tartar
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) granulated sugar

Directions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the crumbs with the butter until well coated. Divide evenly between four 4 oz (125 mL) mason jars; press into an even layer. Spoon the Lemon Spread over the crust; set aside.
  • Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar on high speed until frothy. Slowly add the sugar a spoonful at a time. Beat for an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until the whites hold a stiff peak. Spoon over the Lemon Spread.
  • Bake for 8 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Cool completely. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.

Tips

  1. For an even easier no-bake dessert substitute whipped cream for the meringue topping.
