Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or square baking pan to ensure easy release after baking.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and eggs until fully combined and smooth—this mix becomes your luscious custard.
  3. Add the dry ingredients: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the main mixture, gently folding it in. This will help create the crust from the batter during baking.
  4. Incorporate the melted butter: Slowly stir the melted butter into your mixture, making sure everything is evenly combined. The butter will help develop the crust’s tender texture as it bakes.
  5. Pour and bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the pie’s edges are golden and the top is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
  6. Cool and chill: Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours to let the custard fully set and enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemons: Freshly squeezed lemon juice makes all the difference in delivering that zesty brightness you crave.
  • Don’t overmix: Stir the ingredients just until combined to keep the texture light and prevent toughness.
  • Watch the bake time: Slight jiggle in the center means the pie is perfectly cooked and will firm up while cooling.
  • Chill thoroughly: Refrigeration is key for the custard to set and for enhancing the tangy flavor.
  • Grease your pan well: Prevent sticking by generously buttering your baking dish for easy slicing and serving.
