Ingredients

2 egg yolks

1 large egg

2 cans sweetened condensed milk

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 prepared graham cracker crust, store-bought or homemade

1 1/2 cups sour cream

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Set a rack in the middle position.

In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and whole egg until thoroughly combined. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until blended. Add the lemon juice and stir to blend. Pour into the baked pie shell.

Set the pie in the middle of the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the outside edges look set and the center still jiggles slightly. Set the pie on a rack to cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight.

In a bowl, stir together the sour cream, sugar and vanilla until blended.

One to two hours before serving, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Set a rack in the middle position. Spread the topping over the pie and bake the pie for 10 minutes to set the sour cream. Remove the pie from the oven, cool briefly, and return to the refrigerator to chill until cold, at least 45 minutes. Slice and enjoy! This pie will keep for up to 24 hours before serving.
