☆Ingredients:

For the crust:

1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup of granulated sugar
6 tablespoons of melted butter
For the filling:

1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Zest from 2 lemons
For the topping (optional):

Whipped cream
Lemon slices or zest for garnish

☆Instructions:

Prepare the crust:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
Make the filling:

In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the pie:

Pour the lemon filling into the cooled crust.
Bake the pie:

Place the pie in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 1 hour.
Chill and serve:

Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 3-4 hours or until completely set.
Optionally, top with whipped cream and garnish with lemon slices or zest before serving.
Enjoy your homemade refreshing lemon pie!
