Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare your oven, heating it precisely to 350°F, ensuring the rack sits in the center position.
- Grab a medium mixing bowl and combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and ½ cup melted butter, stirring until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
- Transfer the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie pan, using your fingertips to firmly press the crumbs across the bottom and up the sides, creating an even layer.
- Retrieve your blender and add the entire 14-oz can of sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 3 large eggs.
- Secure the blender lid and pulse for 30-45 seconds until the filling transforms into a completely smooth, pale yellow liquid.
- Carefully pour the blended mixture directly into your prepared graham cracker crust, ensuring an even distribution.
- Slide the pie into the preheated 350°F oven and bake exactly 20 minutes, watching for slight golden edges and a gentle, set jiggle in the center.
- Remove the pie and let it rest at room temperature for 2 hours, allowing it to cool and set completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Swap graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives for a celiac-friendly version.
- Chill the pie for at least 2 hours to help the filling set perfectly and enhance the lemon flavor.
- For extra tang, add an extra tablespoon of lemon zest or use Meyer lemons for a softer citrus profile.
- Use room temperature eggs to ensure a smoother, more consistent blended filling that bakes evenly.
