- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
Lemon pie filling
- 2 (14 oz each) cans sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Set out a 9" pie pan/pie dish.
Make crust
- Combine crust ingredients (graham cracker crumbs, sugar, vanilla, and butter) in a mixing bowl and stir to combine well.
- Transfer mixture to 9” pie pan and press evenly into the bottom and sides of pan.
- Bake the crust for 9 minutes, then set aside.
Make filling
- While crust is baking, make the pie filling by adding the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and salt to a mixing bowl.
- Use hand mixer to beat together for about 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Tap bowl gently on a counter a couple of times to release any air bubbles from the mixing.
- Pour filling into baked crust, spreading into an even layer.
Bake
- Bake in the 350°F oven for 12 minutes, until the center is slightly jiggly, then remove and let sit at room temperature to cool completely.
Chill

- To serve, top with whipped cream, lemon slices, raspberries, and lemon zest if desired.
Notes
- Recipe makes one pie, with a suggested serving size of 1/8th of the pie.
