Baby Lemon Impossible Pies are a zesty, creamy, and incredibly easy dessert that magically forms its own custard bottom as it bakes. Combining bright lemon flavor with a smooth custard texture, this no-crust pie is perfect for any occasion and impresses with minimal ingredients and effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3–4 lemons)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven and prepare the pan: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your pie dish or use a non-stick spray to ensure even baking and easy release.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, eggs, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming the base for the custard filling.
  3. Add the dry ingredients: Gently fold in the self-rising flour (and sugar if using), mixing just until combined to keep the batter light and ready to form the impossible pie layers.
  4. Pour and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and chill: Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for a few hours. Chilling helps the pie set firmly and enhances its creamy texture.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor impact.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense pie; mix just until ingredients combine.
  • Using a glass pie dish helps bake the pie evenly and achieve the perfect custard bottom.
  • Refrigerate after baking to let the pie firm up for clean slicing and richer flavor.
  • Test doneness with a toothpick: it should come out clean when the pie is ready.
