Description

This No Bake Lemon Pie is a refreshingly tangy and creamy dessert that comes together quickly without turning on the oven. Featuring a luscious mixture of sweetened condensed milk and freshly squeezed lemon juice set in a crisp pie crust, this pie is topped with whipped cream and optional fresh berries for a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. Ideal for a light, easy-to-make treat, it requires just a few simple ingredients and a couple of hours of chilling time.

Ingredients

Pie Base

  • 1 delicious pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Filling

  • 2 cups sweetened condensed milk
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Topping (Optional)

  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Fresh strawberries or blueberries (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Pour 2 cups of sweetened condensed milk into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add Lemon Juice: Gently add 3/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the condensed milk. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and fully combined, forming the tangy lemon filling.
  3. Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the creamy lemon mixture evenly into your prepared pie crust, spreading it out to cover the base nicely.
  4. Chill the Pie: Place the filled pie in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours. This allows the filling to set properly into a firm, sliceable consistency.
  5. Serve: Before serving, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of the pie. Optionally, garnish with fresh strawberries or blueberries to enhance flavor and presentation.
  6. Slice and Enjoy: Slice the pie into 8 servings and enjoy this creamy, zesty dessert that’s perfect for warm weather or anytime you want a quick and delicious treat.

Notes

  • You can use either a store-bought or homemade pie crust; graham cracker crust also works well for added flavor.
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice is key to the bright lemon flavor, but bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch.
  • For a firmer texture, chilling the pie overnight is recommended.
  • Add zest of one lemon to the filling for extra lemony aroma and taste.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, substitute the sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk and use dairy-free whipped topping.
