Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 0.5 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and set. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.
Add the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest to the mixture, and whisk again until fully incorporated.
Pour the lemon filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is just set and slightly jiggles in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
Serve slices of the Lemon Luscious Pie with whipped cream and lemon slices as a garnish, if desired. Enjoy!
