Tips and Tricks
- Use fresh lemon juice and zest to maximize bright, tangy flavor throughout the pies.
- Fold the batter gently to prevent deflating; overmixing can interfere with the formation of the distinct crust and creamy filling layers.
- Remove from the oven while the center is still slightly wobbly to achieve a soft, creamy texture. Overbaking can make the filling too firm.
- Sprinkling powdered sugar on top after the pies have completely cooled gives a more polished and professional presentation.
These mini lemon pies are a refreshing, tangy, and visually appealing dessert, perfect for sharing during holidays, parties, or as a light summer treat.
