Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Press pie crust into a pie plate.
- Mix sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a bowl; pour into pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Five minutes before pie is done, beat egg whites and cream of tartar together in a bowl using an electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Slowly add sugar to egg white mixture and continue beating until meringue forms stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.
- Remove pie from oven and increase temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread meringue onto warm pie, making sure meringue goes all the way to the edges creating a seal. Using the back of a spoon, dab the meringue and pull up, creating peaks across the pie.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature for 1 hour and store in the refrigerator.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you can, use Meyer lemons, which are known for their sweet and tart flavor.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start beating them. This will help them reach their full volume.
- Beat the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as they start to foam. This will help prevent them from curdling.
- Add the sugar to the egg whites slowly, a little at a time, while continuing to beat them. This will help prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
- Bake the meringue pie at a low temperature (325 degrees F) for a long time (45-50 minutes). This will help prevent the meringue from cracking.
- Let the meringue pie cool completely before serving. This will help the meringue set and prevent it from deflating.
