Meyer Lemon Pie

With just 5 ingredients and 15 minutes of prep time, you can make the best-ever zesty Meyer lemon pie recipe.
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:35 minutes
Total Time:50 minutes
Servings:8 slices

Ingredients

  • 3 ¾ ounces Meyer lemon juice
  • 1 9-inch pastry shell unbaked
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions

  • Blend lemon juice, eggs, and sugar in a blender for 3 minutes, until smooth.
  • Add in butter and continue blending for a further 30 seconds.
  • Transfer batter on top of the pastry shell.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F for about 30 to 35 minutes, until filling is just set.
  • Once done, let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you can only find regular lemon juice, you can still make the pie. You might want to add some extra sugar or substitute orange juice for some lemon juice.
  • I love to serve a slice of this pie with whipped cream and also add a candied lemon slice on top. A sprinkling of powdered sugar is another idea or even a sprig of mint. This dessert is also rich enough to serve alone.
  • Meyer lemon season is typically from late November until March, so this is when they’re easier to find at the grocery store. If you prefer to buy bottled juice rather than juice your own fruits, you should be able to find this year-round.
