Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter and press into the pan.
Bake the base briefly to bring out its aroma.
Cook the milk, egg yolks, sugar, starch, vanilla, and salt until thickened.
Pour the custard into the crust and smooth the surface.
Beat the egg whites with sugar until glossy meringue forms.
Spread the meringue over the custard and bake until the peaks take color.
Cool the pie completely before slicing.
💡 Tip: Spread the meringue over hot custard so the edges adhere better and no gap forms between custard and meringue.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve chilled slices with plain coffee.
