This pie is so easy to throw together and tastes delicious and decadent. It's a gteat balance of tart and sweet. The crust is a combination of graham crackers and crushed almonds, but you could just do an all graham cracker crust instead, just add an extra sheet of graham crackers.
You don't want to put on the whipped cream until right before serving...pictured with the whipped cream at the bottom. Recipe adapted from : Sallysbakingaddiction.com

  2. 9full sheets of honey Graham crackers
  3. 1/2 cupunsalted whole almonds
  4. 5 tbsp.unsalted butter, melted
  5. 1 tbsp.granulated sugar
  6. 1/8 tsp.salt
  7. Filling :
  8. 2 cans (14 oz.)each sweetened condensed milk
  9. 3/4 cupfreshly squeezed lemon juice (3-4 large lemons)
  10. 4large egg yolks
  11. Whipped Cream Topping :
  12. 1 cupheavy whipping cream
  13. 1/4 cupconfectioners sugar
  14. 1/2 tsp.vanilla extract

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a food processor, combine the graham crackers, the almonds and the salt and pulse together into fine crumbs. Once that's done, pour the crumbs out into a bowl, add the sugar and melted butter and mix until everything is moistened.

  2. 2

    Press the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom and up the sides of a 9"pie dish (9.5" works ok too). Make sure to pack the crumbs tightly. Then place the crust in the oven to pre-bake for 8 minutes. After the 8 minutes are up, remove the pie pan from the oven but don't turn the oven off.

  3. 3

    While the crust is baking, in a medium bowl whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and egg yolks until combined. Pour the lemon mixture into the pre-baked crust, then place it back into the oven.

  4. 4

    Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the center is only slightly jiggly...it should mostly be set. Place the pie on a wire rack and allow it to cool completely. Once it's cool, place it in the fridge to chill for a minimum of 1 hour (and up to 3 days) before serving. Store any leftovers covered in the fridge.

  5. 5

    For the whipped cream, simply use a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment to whisk the cream until stiff. Then whisk in the confectioners sugar and the vanilla. Spread the whipped cream all over the top or just place a dollop on top of individual pieces instead.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
