Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 1 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cups Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 4 pieces Large egg yolks
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly 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 10 minutes, then remove it and let it cool slightly while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.
Pour the lemon filling into the prepared crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the filling is set but still 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 to chill completely.
Once the pie is chilled, preheat your oven’s broiler.
Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top of the pie, creating a thick layer.
Place the pie under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely, until the marshmallows are golden and toasted. Be careful not to let them burn.
Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
