Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made crust (9-inch) graham cracker crust
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 0.5 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 optional for topping (to taste) whipped cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the lemon mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly jiggles in the center when shaken.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature for 1 hour.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to chill and firm up before serving.
Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
