Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 0.5 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 0 Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
• 0 Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and set. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Add the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest to the mixture, and whisk again until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Pour the lemon filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is just set and slightly jiggles in the center.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully chilled and set.

Step 10

Serve slices of the Lemon Luscious Pie with whipped cream and lemon slices as a garnish, if desired. Enjoy!
