Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 4 large egg yolks
- Whipped cream for decorating, optional
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Add the melted butter, and stir until the crumbs are well moistened.
- Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, forming an even layer on the bottom and up the sides. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes, then allow to cool.
- Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and egg yolks until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes, until the filling is set but slightly jiggly in the center. Allow to cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- If desired, decorate the pie with whipped cream before serving.
