1 (14 oz.) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 Tbsp. pumpkin pie spice

1. Beat together pumpkin, egg yolks, 1/2 c. sugar, condensed milk, spices and salt until smooth. Pour into pie shell and bake at 400ºF for 10 min.; reduce heat to 350ºF and continue to bake until knife inserted near center of pie comes out clean or about 50 to 60 min. Reduce oven temperature to 325º F when pie is done.

2. Meanwhile, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add cream of tartar and 1/2 c. of sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time until egg whites become stiff. Spoon meringue onto pie, making sure to seal meringue around rim of pie crust.
