Lemon Pie Recipe: A Simple and Economical Delight with Just 5 Ingredients

Ingredients:

• ½ cup sour cream
• 3 cups sweetened condensed milk
• ¾ cup key lime juice
• 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
• 1 (9-inch) prepared graham cracker crust

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and lime zest. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Assemble the Pie: Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow.
4. Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface. The filling should be set but not browned.
5. Cool and Chill: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour before serving.
6. Optional Garnish: For an extra touch, garnish with lemon slices and a dollop of whipped cream.
