Pie Recipes #236 - Easy Lemon Pie



EASY LEMON PIE
Thanks to Jeannie for this one...it sounds so delicious and so easy! You could also just use the filling to make a lemon pudding-type dessert and then top with whipped cream. Yummy!

1 pastry shell
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c. lemon juice
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prick pie shell with a fork and bake in
preheated oven for 8 minutes, or until crust is lightly browned. Remove from
oven and cool. In a medium mixing bowl, blend egg yolks and condensed milk. Stir in lemon
juice. Heat this mixture in a double boiler, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until
it thickens. Pour into pie crust and refrigerate at
least 1 hour before serving.
