Reduce oven temperature to 325℉ (160℃).
In a mixing bowl, combine condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest and egg yolks.
Stir until mixture thickens.
Pour into cooled crust.
Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and beat until almost stiff.
Add sugar gradually, beating until stiff and glossy but not dry.
Pile lightly on pie filling. Bake at 325 until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
Cool thoroughly. Enjoy!
