Ingredients

Scale
  • 11 full-sheet graham crackers, crushed
  • 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). Make sure the oven rack is centered for even baking.
  2. Pulse the graham crackers and almonds into fine crumbs in a food processor.
  3. Stir together the graham cracker and almond crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
  4. Pour the crumb mixture into an ungreased 9-inch pie dish, pressing it down firmly to form an even crust.
  5. Pre-bake the crust for 8 minutes, then let cool slightly.
  6. Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and egg yolks until smooth.
  7. Pour the filling mixture into the warm pre-baked crust, and bake for 19 to 21 minutes.
  8. Allow the pie to cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  9. Garnish with lemon zest, lemon slices, almonds, and whipped cream or meringue as desired.
  10. Slice and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh lemon juice. Store garnishes separately until serving.
