Ingredients

Scale
  • 11 full-sheet graham crackers, crushed into crumbs
  • 1/2 cup salted almonds, ground
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 28 ounces full-fat sweetened condensed milk
  • 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • Lemon zest for garnish
  • Lemon slices for garnish
  • Almonds for garnish
  • Whipped cream or meringue topping for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Position the oven rack in the center.
  2. Pulse the graham crackers and ground almonds in a food processor to fine crumbs.
  3. Combine the crumbs with sugar and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until evenly moistened.
  4. Press mixture into a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust.
  5. Pre-bake the crust for 8 minutes and let it cool.
  6. Whisk sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and egg yolks in a bowl until smooth.
  7. Pour the filling into the warm crust and bake for 19 to 21 minutes until slightly jiggly.
  8. Let cool on a rack, then chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  9. Garnish with lemon zest, lemon slices, almonds, and optional whipped cream or meringue.
  10. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

For cleaner slices, chill the pie well and wipe the knife between cuts. Store slices in a single layer or with parchment between layers.
