Lemon Raspberry Pie is a bright, tangy dessert that pairs a creamy lemon filling with sweet raspberry swirls in a buttery crust. It’s perfect for warm-weather gatherings or anytime you need a splash of citrusy joy.

Ingredients

  • Pie Crust: 1 9-inch pre-made or homemade – blind-baked for crispiness
  • Egg Yolks: 4 large – provide richness and structure
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk: 1 (14-ounce) can – adds sweetness and creaminess
  • Lemon Juice: ½ cup, freshly squeezed – for bright citrus flavor
  • Lemon Zest: 1 tablespoon – intensifies the lemon punch
  • Raspberries: 1 cup fresh or frozen – adds a tart-sweet contrast
  • Sugar: 2 tablespoons – for sweetening the raspberry swirl
  • Cornstarch: 1 teaspoon – thickens the raspberry compote
  • Salt: Pinch – enhances all the flavors

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your blind-baked crust on a baking sheet.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt until smooth and thick.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Strain through a sieve to remove seeds.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Pour the lemon filling into the pie crust. Dollop raspberry sauce over the top and use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it into the filling.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake for 18–22 minutes until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly. Do not overbake.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve with whipped cream or fresh raspberries if desired.

Notes

  • Blind-bake your crust for a crisp bottom.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Strain raspberry sauce to remove seeds for a smooth texture.
  • Chill thoroughly before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
