Before I jumped into this recipe, I want to check in with you guys.
How are you? How is your family? Friends? Work?
We are doing well here and practicing social distancing from friends, school and work. Well, not my work. That’s in our kitchen and with everyone home, I’ve been cooking and baking overtime.
Including these mini pies with my favorite flavor = lemon 🍋
Your Ingredients List:
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Butter
- Sugar
- Egg yolks
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Lemon juice + lemon zest

A few notes:
- You will need 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs for the crust. This should be about 8 squares of graham crackers.
- If you don’t have fresh lemons on hand, bottled lemon juice will work just fine.
- Not a fan of lemons? Limes can be used as a replacement!
- Don’t have any sweetened condensed milk? Make it homemade.

Hi Denise- Honestly, no, I haven't froze these in the past, so, can't say for sure what the result would be. If you do freeze them, please let me know how they work out.

These look delicious. I have pinned your blog about making coconut condensed milk. I have that on hand but no condensed dairy milk. Thank you for bringing this to FF. Lemon is so perfect for spring.
