Cook over low to medium heat until about pudding consistency.Pour into the baked pie shell.Prepare meringue by whisking the egg whites until nice peaks formed, add the sugar substitute a little at a time along with the Cream of Tartar and cornstarch and continue whisking until well mixed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Spread the meringue over the pie and return to the oven until nicely browned. Watch closely.Store in the refrigerator.
