Ingredients

Servings

Lemon Pie:

  • 1 ½ lemons, cleaned + dried
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 2 egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt, plain (whole milk)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted + cooled
  • 1 graham cracker crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • To serve: fresh whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar

Instructions

Lemon Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. Quarter the lemons + remove any seeds.
  3. Add the lemons (including the peel and pith) and sugar to a blender basin.  Blend, scraping down the sides if needed, until smooth.
  4. Add the eggs, yogurt, cornstarch, and butter to the blender, and blend until smooth.  Tap the blender on the counter a few times to remove as many bubbles as possible.
  5. Slowly pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, and then increase temperature to 350°F.  Bake another 25-30 minutes, until the lemon filling has mostly set with a slight wobble.
  7. Serve within 1-2 days along with whipped cream or powdered sugar.  If not serving within a few hours of baking, store covered in the fridge.

Notes

  • Yields 1 pie.
  • Blender trouble?
  • Make sure to add the lemons to the blender first, and then the sugar.  (Adding the sugar first will make it more difficult to blend.)
  • If your blender struggles to get the lemon peel smooth, do not pour it into the pie crust with bits of peel.  Instead, strain the batter through a mesh sieve.
