Ingredients

Pie crust: You can either use a pre-made graham cracker or shortbread crust, or make a homemade buttery pie crust.
Sweetened condensed milk: This is the base of the pie filling and provides that rich, creamy texture.
Fresh lemon juice: The juice from about 2 large lemons will give the pie its bright, zesty flavor.
Eggs: Two large eggs help to thicken the filling and give it structure.
Lemon zest: Optional, but adding some zest from the lemon adds even more citrusy flavor.
Whipped cream: For topping, you can use fresh whipped cream to add a light and fluffy contrast to the creamy pie filling.

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you’re using a store-bought pie crust, follow the package directions for pre-baking, if necessary.
Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, eggs, and lemon zest (if using). Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Fill the crust: Pour the lemon filling into your prepared pie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
Bake: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden around the edges.
Chill: Allow the pie to cool to room temperature before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to fully set.
Serve: Top the chilled pie with fresh whipped cream just before serving. Garnish with additional lemon zest or lemon slices for an extra burst of flavor.
