Sugar Free Lemon Graham Cracker Pie

We stopped for dinner today like we usually do - this time to enjoy a buffet style dinner!?!
At the end of dinner I am always in search of a good, tasty yet sugar free desert...which is sometimes hard to find!?! Today I lucked out when I came across the following!?!

Sugar Free Lemon Graham Cracker Pie

Ingredients:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
3 raw egg yolks , lightly beaten
14 oz unsweetened fat free condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
3 egg whites , at room temperature
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
4 tbsp sugar

Directions
1 Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the butter in a 9-inch pie plate and place in the oven as the oven heats up.
Remove the pan from the oven when the butter is melted.
2 Combine the crumbs and the 1/4 cup sugar; sprinkle over the melted butter.
Mix with a fork until uniform in texture and press firmly on the bottom and sides of the dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the oven for 5 minutes.
Let cool.
3 Combine the yolks and milk; stir in the lemon juice.
Pour into the cooled pie crust.
Return to oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and lower temperature to 275 degrees F.
4 Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric beater until foamy.
Add 4 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form.
Spread evenly over pie to the edge of the crust.
Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the topping is lightly browned.
