Instructions
-
Make the crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8–10 minutes. Let cool. -
Prepare the lemon filling:
In a bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and zest until smooth. Pour into cooled crust. -
Bake:
Bake lemon layer for 15 minutes, or until set. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. -
Make the raspberry topping:
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries and sugar. Cook until raspberries break down and mixture thickens slightly (add cornstarch if using). Let cool completely. -
Assemble:
Spread raspberry topping over the chilled lemon pie. Chill for another 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Garnish with whipped cream, lemon slices, or extra berries for a show-stopping look.
Can be made a day ahead—flavors develop beautifully overnight.
Use Meyer lemons for a slightly sweeter lemon layer!
