Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 whole eggs
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 3 slices lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, then remove it and let it cool while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Pour the lemon mixture into the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie for 15–17 minutes, or until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
Optional: Top the chilled pie with whipped cream and garnish with lemon slices before serving.
Slice and serve your Ez Lemon Pie chilled. Enjoy!
