Blueberry Custard Meringue Pie

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°. Pulse crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and egg white; pulse until blended. Press mixture onto bottom and up sides of a 9-in. pie plate coated with cooking spray. Bake 7-9 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack.
• In a small heavy saucepan, mix sugar, cornstarch and salt. Whisk in milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat.
• In a small bowl, whisk a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to pan, whisking constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in blueberries and vanilla.
• For meringue, in a bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until soft glossy peaks form.
• Transfer hot filling to crust. Spread meringue evenly over top, sealing to edge of crust. Bake at 350° for 16-20 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Cool 1 hour on a wire. Refrigerate 1-2 hours before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
