Lemon Pie Recipe: A Refreshing and Easy Dessert

Looking for a simple yet delicious dessert to impress your family and friends? This Lemon Pie recipe is a perfect choice! It combines the zesty freshness of lemons with the creamy richness of condensed and evaporated milk, layered beautifully with Maria cookies. This no-bake recipe is quick to prepare and requires only a few ingredients, making it an ideal treat for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1 can of condensed milk (approximately 395 grams)

1 can of evaporated milk (approximately 354 milliliters)

1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice (adjust to taste for more tanginess)

Zest from 3 lemons (use fresh lemons for the best flavor)

2 packs of Maria cookies (or any other plain tea biscuits)

1 lemon, thinly sliced for decoration

Step-by-Step Preparation:

  1. Prepare the Creamy Mixture:

In a blender, pour the condensed milk and evaporated milk. Blend until they are fully combined.

While blending, gradually add the lemon juice. This will thicken the mixture slightly as the acidity reacts with the milk.

Add the lemon zest and blend for a few seconds to evenly distribute the citrus flavor.

  1. Assemble the Layers:

Choose a rectangular or round glass baking dish for assembling the pie.

Start by placing a single layer of Maria cookies at the bottom of the dish.

Pour a portion of the lemon mixture over the cookies, spreading it evenly.

Add another layer of cookies, followed by another layer of the lemon mixture. Repeat this process until all the ingredients are used, ensuring the top layer is the lemon mixture.

  1. Chill and Set:

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This will allow the layers to firm up and the flavors to meld together.

If you prefer a firmer texture, place the dish in the freezer for about 30 minutes before serving.

  1. Decorate and Serve:

Before serving, garnish the top of the pie with thin slices of lemon arranged in a decorative pattern.

Sprinkle a touch of lemon zest over the top for an extra burst of freshness and visual appeal.

Tips for Success:

For a more intense lemon flavor, add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice or zest to the mixture.

If you don’t have Maria cookies, graham crackers or digestive biscuits make a great substitute.

Serve the pie chilled for the best texture and taste.
