Description

Lemon Pie Recipe Condensed Milk is a classic no-fuss dessert combining the creamy richness of sweetened condensed milk with the bright, tangy punch of fresh lemon juice and zest. This pie boasts a buttery graham cracker crust with a silky, custard-like filling that sets perfectly with a brief bake and chill. It’s an ideal dessert for those who want a fresh, homemade treat without complicated steps. Perfect for potlucks, family dinners, or a simple weekday indulgence, this pie’s balance of sweet and tart flavors makes it a crowd favorite every time.


Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 large egg yolks, room temperature
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 34 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • Whipped cream, for topping (optional)


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar (optional) until combined. Press into a 9-inch pie pan evenly. Bake 8–10 minutes until golden. Cool slightly.
  • Whisk sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks until smooth. Slowly add lemon juice while stirring; the mixture will thicken. Stir in lemon zest.
  • Pour filling into crust, smooth top. Bake for 12–15 minutes until filling is mostly set with slight jiggle. Cool at room temperature 30 minutes, then chill for 2+ hours.
  • Before serving, spread whipped cream on top and garnish with lemon zest or slices.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons for best flavor.
  • Do not overbake the filling to keep it creamy.
  • Chill thoroughly for a smooth texture.
  • Warm your knife before slicing for neat pieces.
