How to Make Baby Lemon Impossible Pies
1. Prepare the Batter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease 8–10 ramekins or a jumbo muffin tin.
In a blender or large bowl, combine the condensed milk, lemon juice, eggs, melted butter, lemon zest, vanilla, sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
Blend or mix for about 45–60 seconds until the batter becomes smooth and lump-free.

2. Bake the Pies
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and set while the center still has a slight jiggle.
During baking, the batter naturally separates to form the custard and cake layers.
3. Cool and Serve
Allow the pies to cool for 20–30 minutes before serving. As they cool, the custard layer will continue to set and develop its smooth texture.
Serve them warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Tips for Perfect Results
-
Always use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
-
Room-temperature eggs mix more easily into a smooth batter.
-
Avoid overbaking to keep the custard layer soft and creamy.
For an extra silky texture, you can bake the ramekins in a water bath, which helps the custard cook gently and evenly.
