Ingredients
For the Lemon Impossible Pie Filling:
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (use GF flour if desired)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Raspberry Drizzle:
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter.
2. Make the Lemon Pie Batter
In a blender, combine milk, sugar, flour, melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend for about 30 seconds until smooth. You can also whisk everything by hand in a large bowl, but blending ensures a super silky texture.
3. Fill the Muffin Cups
Pour the batter evenly into each muffin cup, filling about ¾ of the way full. These will puff slightly while baking, then settle as they cool.
4. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the mini pies cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Make the Raspberry Drizzle
While the pies bake, place raspberries, honey/maple syrup, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly. Optional: strain through a fine mesh sieve for a smooth sauce.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Once the lemon pies have cooled, drizzle with the raspberry sauce. Garnish with a little extra lemon zest or a whole raspberry on top if you’re feeling fancy!
