Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Meringue Frappe
  1. Juice the fresh lemons until you have about ½ cup of lemon juice. Blend the lemon juice with the sweetened condensed milk and crushed ice on high for about 30 seconds until frosty and smooth.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue whipping for 3-5 minutes until stiff peaks form.
  3. Pour the frappe into chilled glasses, filling them about three-quarters full. Spoon or pipe the meringue over the top.
  4. Sprinkle the meringue with lemon zest and crushed graham crackers if desired. Serve immediately.
