How to Make

  • Step 1: PLEASE READ IF MAKING PIE IN ADVANCE: If you are making this pie in advance, add the cornstarch into the cream to keep it set. If you are serving it immediately, no need to add the cornstarch in.

  • Step 2: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place pie crust in a 9-inch glass pie shell and set aside.

  • Step 3: In small bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon zest and lemon juice together until evenly combined. Pour into pie shell and bake 20-25 minutes or until filling is set and crust is cooked. Cool pie to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled (at least 2 hours.)

  • Step 4: Before serving, whip cream with sugar, vanilla and cornstarch (if you arte using it) until stiff peaks form. Spread cream over top of pie and garnish with lemon slices.
