Ingredients
Lemon Pie:
- 2 lemon Meyer, cleaned and dried
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 2 egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ cup Greek yogurt plain, whole milk
- 4 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
- 1 Graham Cracker Crust homemade or store-bought
- powdered sugar fresh whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar, for serving
- Whipped Cream fresh whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar, for serving
Instructions
Lemon Pie
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Quarter the lemons + remove any seeds.
- Add the lemons (including the peel and pith) and sugar to a blender basin. Blend, scraping down the sides if needed, until smooth.Tip: Add the lemons to the blender first and then add the sugar. If you add the sugar first, it tends to pack down and become difficult to blend.
- 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.
- Slowly pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
- 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.
- 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.
