Baby Lemon Impossible Pies:

Step 4: Pour the Batter into Ramekins

  • Evenly divide the batter into the prepared ramekins or muffin tin cups.
  • The batter will look thin and liquidy at this stage.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  • Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  • The magic happens here: the bottom layer will thicken and form a crust while the custard layer sets on top.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

  • Remove the pies from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature.
  • You can serve them warm, or chill in the refrigerator for a firmer texture.
  • Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar or garnish with thin lemon slices or fresh mint for an elegant touch.

Tips and Variations

  • Sweetness: Adjust sugar according to your preference — less for tart, more for sweeter pies.
  • Citrus twist: Add lime or orange zest for a different citrus flavor.
  • Crust options: For an even richer crust, sprinkle some crushed graham crackers or shortbread crumbs in the ramekins before pouring batter.
  • Toppings: Whipped cream or fresh berries pair wonderfully with the lemon flavor.
