Description

This Lemon Raspberry Pie is a refreshing dessert that combines tangy lemon filling with a sweet raspberry topping on a buttery graham cracker crust. The ideal balance of tart and sweet, this pie is perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to special celebrations.


Ingredients

For the Crust:

2 cups crushed graham crackers

1/2 cup melted butter

1/4 cup sugar

For the Lemon Layer:

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2 egg yolks

For the Raspberry Topping:

1 cup fresh raspberries

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

  3. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

  4. For the lemon filling, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and egg yolks until smooth.

  5. Pour the lemon filling into the cooled crust and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until set. Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill.

  6. For the raspberry topping, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens. Let it cool.

  7. After chilling, pour the raspberry topping over the lemon filling and spread evenly.

  8. Slice, serve chilled, and garnish with fresh raspberries if desired.

Notes

Storage: Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating: Let sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes if you prefer it slightly warm.

Variations:

Swap lemon filling for homemade lemon curd for a richer flavor.

Experiment with different berries for the topping.

Use a shortbread or gluten-free graham cracker crust.
