This delicious 3 ingredient no-bake Meyer lemon pie recipe with condensed milk is a family favorite because it’s so simple and tastes so great. Made with fresh lemon juice, it really is the perfect dessert.

However, once the weather heats up, it is the perfect time for a refreshingly cool slice of creamy Meyer lemon pie.This recipe is different from others you might have seen because by removing the egg yolks, the lemon pie filling doesn’t require baking.

I’m happy to report that even without the heat, this yummy no-bake Meyer lemon pie is still quite the treat and it requires only three ingredients. The fourth one, whipped cream or meringue, is optional.

If you love yourself a citrusy slice of yummy pie, then I recommend you make this dessert for lemon lovers en un dos por tres.

What ingredients do I need for this Meyer Lemon Pie recipe?

All you need to make this simple recipe is:

• fresh squeezed lemon juice
• store bought or homemade graham cracker crust
• sweetened condensed milk

The whipped topping or meringue is totally optional.

How far in advance should you make this 3 ingredient lemon pie?

This easy lemon pie should be made 2-3 hours before serving, at the very least. I know some people who like their pie at room temperature, but this no bake creamy filling simply tastes better when you give it the opportunity to chill a bit in the refrigerator.

​How can I elevate the presentation of lemon pie?

​Any pie looks great on its own, but if you want to make your dessert look extra special, here are a few ideas:

• Grab two fresh lemons and slice them. Garnish your pie with lemon slices in a pretty pattern. 
• Make meringue and decorate your pie using a pastry sleeve or cut the corner of a zippered plastic bag. If you have a torch, you can broil the top of the meringue until it is golden brown for an extra fancy look.
• Decorate with some fresh lemon peel or zest. Make sure to wash your lemons first!

Can I substitute the Meyer lemon for key limes?

Yes, you can but keep in mind the flavor will be different. 

Is this no bake dessert recipe good for egg allergies?

This no bake lemon pie is perfect for those sensitive or allergic to eggs. You do not need egg whites or yolks to make this simple lemon pie. I suggest using lemon zest as a garnish or freshly whipped cream as a topping.

3 Ingredient No-Bake Meyer Lemon Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup of Meyer lemon juice (you can also use regular lemon juice or even lime juice)
• 1 pre-made store-bought graham cracker pie crust
• Optional: whipped cream, meringue or whipped topping

Directions:

• Pour condensed milk into a mixing bowl.
• Slowly add Meyer lemon juice to condensed milk while stirring. I used a hand immersion blender with a whisk attachment on low and a medium bowl.
• Pour mixture into pre-made graham cracker crust and refrigerate for a couple hours.
• You can top with whipped cream or meringue, but that’s optional. Slice, serve and enjoy! 

Do you see how easy that is? That’s why I think it’s the best dessert. Honestly, it’s probably one of the easiest pie recipes EVER. It’s so easy in fact that if you have kids, this is a great recipe to teach them how to make because you only have to make it with them once. From then on, they can make it on their own and feel proud about contributing dessert to a meal for the family or for when guests come over. If you have any leftovers, which I doubt, simply store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
