Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Graham cracker crumbs
- 120 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 4 pieces Egg yolks
- 400 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 120 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 100 ml Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- 1 piece Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk until well combined and smooth.
Add the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest to the mixture, and whisk again until fully incorporated.
Pour the lemon filling into the pre-baked crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the filling is just set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
Once chilled, optionally top with whipped cream and garnish with lemon slices before serving.
Slice and enjoy your tangy and delicious lemon pie!
