Good day, Kitchies! where we’re about to take you on a journey back in time with a delightful recipe for Magic Lemon Pie. This sweet and tangy dessert has been passed down through the generations, and we’re excited to share it with you today.
Imagine a pie that magically comes together as it cools, requiring no pre-cooking of the filling. That’s the beauty of Magic Lemon Pie! This recipe holds a special place in our hearts as it was discovered in a treasured collection of handwritten notes belonging to Stephanie’s grandmother (a KMT’s Chef). Digging deeper, we found that it originated from a 1952 Eagle Brand Milk ad recipe book, adding to its charm and nostalgic appeal.
Magic Lemon Pie is a classic lemon meringue pie with a twist. Instead of the traditional process of pre-cooking the filling, this recipe simplifies the method, allowing you to use any type of baked pie crust, whether it’s a classic graham cracker crust, unbaked cracker crust, or even a graham cracker crust. The magic happens as the pie cools, creating a luscious lemony filling topped with a fluffy meringue.
