Baby Lemon Impossible Pies are an easy-to-make dessert combining zesty lemon flavor with a smooth, custard-like texture. This pie magically bakes itself without a traditional crust, delivering creamy sweetness with bright citrus notes, perfect for family gatherings or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Dish: Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick spray to ensure the crust cooks evenly and the pie releases easily after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, thoroughly combine the flour and sugar to ensure even distribution, helping the crust form perfectly while baking.
  3. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and milk until smooth and fully incorporated for a creamy filling.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the pie dish, then gently stir just enough to combine slightly. The filling will set like magic as it bakes.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust forms a golden edge and the filling is firm but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Cool and Chill: Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours before serving. Chilling helps the pie set completely and enhances its flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the brightest, most natural flavor.
  • Do not overbake to avoid a cracked or dry top.
  • Use room temperature eggs for a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Chill the pie thoroughly to achieve a perfect custardy texture.
  • A slight wobble in the center when done baking means it’s perfectly baked and will firm up as it cools.
