Equipment

  • food processor
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • whisk
  • Cooling Rack

Ingredients
  

Graham Cracker Almond Crust

  • 11 full-sheets graham crackers about 160g
  • ½ cup salted almonds (I used roasted)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 25g
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, 71g

Filling + Topping

  • 2 cans sweetened condensed milk (14-ounce each)
  • ¾ cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons, 180ml)
  • 4 large egg yolks *

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • Make the crust: Using a food processor, pulse the graham crackers and almonds together into crumbs. A few larger pieces of nuts is OK. Pour into a medium bowl and stir in the sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until combined. The mixture will be thick, coarse, and sandy. Try to smash/break up any large chunks. Pour the mixture into an ungreased 9-inch pie dish. With medium pressure using your hand, pat the crumbs down into the bottom and up the sides to make a compact crust.
  • Pre-bake crust for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave the oven on.
  • Make the filling: Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and egg yolks together. Pour into warm crust.
  • Bake the pie for 19–21 minutes or until only slightly jiggly in the center. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Garnish as desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

Make Ahead Instructions: You can prepare and pre-bake the crust up to 2–3 days in advance. Cover and store at room temperature. Likewise, you can mix up the filling up to 2–3 days in advance. Cover and refrigerate, then assemble and bake. Freezes well up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
