Yield One deluxe 9-inch pie for 6 or more

Number Of Ingredients 9

For the crust:
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) graham cracker crumbs (10 to 12 full-size crackers)
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For the filling:
2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup lemon juice
Whipped cream

Steps:

  • To make the crust:
  • In a medium bowl, blend together the crumbs, cinnamon, and butter using a handheld mixer until fully incorporated. Scrape the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan. Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, press the mixture firmly onto the base and up the sides of the pan, forming a uniform crust about 1/4-inch thick. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To make the filling:
  • In a medium saucepan, preferably nonstick, whisk together the milk, egg yolks, and lemon juice until smooth. Cook the custard over medium heat until very hot to the touch, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Do not allow to boil.
  • Strain the custard through a sieve into the prepared pie shell. Smooth the filling, forming a slight dome in the center. Refrigerate uncovered at least one hour, or until set. Cover with plastic wrap and chill completely, at least another hour.
  • Serve wedges cold with plenty of whipped cream, just like Miss Essie did. Store covered in the refrigerator.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. They said it was the best lemon pie they've ever had. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the filling.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best lemon pie he's ever had. I think next time I'll add a little more sugar to the filling.
