This easy lemon pie is a tart dessert made with whole lemons! Simply blend the filling ingredients together in a blender, bake, and serve!

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lemons, cleaned + dried
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 2 egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain (whole milk)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted + cooled
  • 1 graham cracker crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • To serve: fresh whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1--- Lemon Pie ---
  2. 2Preheat oven to 325°F.
  3. 3Quarter the lemons + remove any seeds.
  4. 4Add the lemons (including the peel and pith) and sugar to a blender basin. Blend, scraping down the sides if needed, until smooth.
  5. 5Add the eggs, yogurt, cornstarch, and butter to the blender, and blend until smooth. Tap the blender on the counter a few times to remove as many bubbles as possible.
