Baby Lemon Impossible Pies: Sweet, Tangy, and So Easy to Make!

Step 3: Prepare the Lemon Filling

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, egg yolks, and a pinch of salt.

2. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened. The tangy lemon flavor is what makes these pies irresistible.

Step 4: Layer the Lemon Filling

Slowly pour the lemon filling over the cake batter in the baking dish. Here’s the magical part: as the pies bake, the cake and lemon filling will swap places! The cake rises to the top while the lemon filling settles at the bottom, creating that signature “impossible pie” effect.

Step 5: Bake the Pies

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Avoid overbaking—this helps the filling stay creamy.

Step 6: Cool and Chill

1. Let the pie cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

2. Transfer the pie to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours. Chilling enhances the flavors and helps the pies firm up for perfect slices.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

1. Cut into small, baby-sized squares or wedges.

2. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a twist of lemon zest for a beautiful presentation.

Tips for Success

• Fresh lemon juice gives the best tangy flavor; bottled juice can make the filling too sweet.

• Room temperature eggs mix better into both the cake batter and lemon filling, ensuring a smooth texture.

• For extra flair, drizzle a light lemon glaze over the top before serving.
