Pie Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie plate lightly.

  3. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the greased pie plate.
  4. Par-bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, until lightly golden.
  5. Allow the crust to cool while preparing the filling.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon zest until smooth.
  7. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, whisking until thick and creamy.
  8. Mix in the fresh lemon juice until fully blended.
  9. Pour the lemon filling into the par-baked crust and smooth the surface.
  10. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the center is set.
