Ingredients for Your Lemon Pie with Condensed Milk:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (62 grams)
  • 3 tbsp almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (160 grams)

Condensed Milk Lemon Pie Filling

  • 2-14 oz. cans Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 2 sliced lemons (for decoration)

How to Make This Lemon Pie with Condensed Milk

Now that you’ve gathered everything, let’s get this pie started!

Step 1: Make the Almond Crust (10 minutes)

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine butter, powdered sugar, almond flour, salt, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined. You want it to look like a shaggy dough. That’s when you know you’re almost there!
  4. Press the dough into a 9-inch pie plate, ensuring the edges are nice and even.
  5. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden. You’ll smell that nutty aroma filling your kitchen!

Step 2: Prepare the Lemon Filling (10 minutes)

  1. While the crust is baking, in a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, lemon zest, water, and granulated sugar.
  2. Make sure everything is well combined; it should look silky and gorgeous like a tropical escape in a bowl!
  3. Once your crust has cooled slightly, pour the filling into the crust.

Step 3: Bake the Pie (20 minutes)

  1. Return the pie to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. You want it to set but still have a little jiggle in the middle.
  2. Trust me; it will firm as it cools!

Step 4: Cool and Garnish

  1. Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, the longer, the better!
  2. Right before serving, garnish with the sliced lemons. If you’re feeling adventurous, caramelize the lemons in a pan for a fancy twist!
