Bake for 5-8 minutes in an preheated 3250F oven. Remove and let cool.
FILLING: Use a mixer at low speed to blend the condensed milk and egg
yolks. Slowly add the lime juice Mix until it thickens. Pour into the
cooled crust and refrigerate overnight.
TOPPING: Whip egg yolks at high speed until meringue consistency Cover
pie, add lime slices and return to refrigerator for another hour. Serve
chilled.
