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:

- 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.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow.
- 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.
- 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.
- Optional Garnish: For an extra touch, garnish with lemon slices and a dollop of whipped cream.
