Refreshing Lemon Pie

Written by Published on Updated on May 26, 2019 in Uncategorized

(Ok, so it took me two tries to get this pie done!!..The first time was yesterday morning around 11:00ish I forgot to separate the eggs yolks from the eggs whites, but that was because I had just finished a phone call that was quite exciting, and I was so happy that I just forgot!! The second time around was much later in the afternoon, it was going well  until I decided that I needed to take the pie out of the baking pan and place it onto a cake stand and it fell apart…:(  But it doesn’t matter it still tasted so good!!! )  🙂

We have been having gorgeous weather since Monday and I have been out almost everyday running errands and just going out with my brother.  It is very sunny and bright outside, so what came to mind with such beautiful days…a delicious dessert, what sort of dessert you say; well Lemon of course. 🙂   It was hot, hot, hot, yesterday to much for this time of year, but I shouldn’t complain it was lovely, so making this refreshing Lemon Pie was a good idea because when the weather is hot you need to cool off somehow and a cold dessert is just a perfect idea.  (I added a scoop of  Lemon Sorbet on mine instead of whipped cream) 🙂 

 Lemon Pie, Pudding, Lemonade, Pink Lemonade are my utmost favorite especially if these are homemade.  This Lemon pie (tart) is truly so simple to make, you won’t need more than a few ingredients to blend together and your done.. easy, tasty, refreshing !! 🙂

REFRESHING LEMON PIE

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cans of Condensed Milk
  • 1 cup Lemon Juice
  • 5 Eggs Yolks
  • 500 grams of Digestive Cookies for crust
  • 150 grams of melted Butter
  • Lemon Zest
  • Whip Cream for Topping

Instructions
 

  • Put cookies into blender and beat.
  • Melted butter for crust.
  • Add butter into crushed cookies and mix. Place into a butter baking pan and press down to even out. Push cookies mix and press all around the baking pan. (I placed a piece of baking paper on the bottom of the pan so that the crust wouldn’t stick). Place into oven and bake for about 20 minutes or you can place it in the refrigerator for 1 hr. This is done so that the crust becomes firm.
  • In a separate bowl add in the condensed milk, lemon juice, a bit of lemon zest mix until combined.
  • Continue by adding the eggs yolks, beat mix thoroughly.
  • Add mixture into baked crust and bake for 1 hr. Once it is ready set it aside to cool off before adding the whipped cream.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
