Ingredients

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup whole milk

2 large eggs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin well.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. Add the flour and whisk until the batter is fully combined and no lumps remain.

4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

5. Bake for 22 to 28 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and the centers are just set.

6. Let the pies cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully remove and transfer to a wire rack.

7. Cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Let the pies cool completely before removing them so the delicate centers can finish setting.

For the brightest flavor, use fresh lemon juice and fresh lemon zest instead of bottled juice.
