Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 4 large Eggs
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cups Fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar for the crust.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and incorporate it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough and prick the bottom with a fork.
Blind bake the crust by lining it with parchment paper and filling it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Pour the lemon filling into the prepared crust.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the filling is just set. Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Before serving, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie, or serve it on the side. Optional: garnish with extra lemon zest or thin lemon slices.
Slice and enjoy your Lemon Delicious Pie!
