Time 8h

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

14 graham crackers, broken
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 1/4 cups fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons lemon zest, finely grated (remember to zest before you juice!)
8 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°. In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers with the sugar and salt until finely ground but not powdery. Add the butter and pulse until the crumbs are evenly moistened; transfer to a 9-inch springform pan and press into the bottom and two-thirds up the side. Set the pan on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the condensed milk with the lemon juice. In another bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the lemon zest with the egg yolks until pale. Beat in the condensed milk mixture until smooth. Pour the filling into the crust.
  • Bake the pie for 25 minutes, until the center jiggles slightly and the edges are set. Transfer the pan to a rack; let cool for 1 hour. Loosely cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze the pie for at least 6 hours.
  • Wrap a warm, damp kitchen towel around the side of the springform pan to release the pie; remove the ring. Using a hot knife, slice the pie, transfer to plates and serve.

I'm not a huge fan of pies, but this one is an exception. The crust is perfectly flaky and the filling is creamy and tangy. I highly recommend this recipe!

I had some trouble getting the filling to set properly, but the crust was delicious. I'll try again with a different filling recipe next time.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The crust was great though!
