Baby Lemon Impossible Pies are delicious, bite-sized desserts with a refreshing lemon flavor. These mini pies feature a creamy, custard-like filling that magically forms a soft, cake-like crust as they bake. Perfectly balanced between sweet and tart, they’re easy to make and ideal for any occasion, whether as a quick snack or a party treat.

  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 6

Ingredients

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

½ cup lemon juice

2 eggs

¼ cup melted butter

½ cup self-rising flour

1 tsp vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line 6 muffin cups in a muffin tin.

  • Mix the ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, eggs, melted butter, self-rising flour, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.

  • Pour into muffin cups: Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full with the batter.

  • Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  • Cool and serve: Allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with extra lemon zest or powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Make them larger: Bake in a standard pie dish or tart pan for a bigger version. Adjust the baking time to 35-40 minutes.

Fruit additions: Add fresh berries or a small amount of fruit puree (like raspberry) to the batter before baking.

Gluten-free: Substitute gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
