🛒 Ingredients
- 🍋 ½ cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 🥚 4 large eggs
- 🥛 1 cup whole milk
- 🥥 ½ cup shredded coconut (optional, but adds a great texture!)
- 🍚 ½ cup granulated sugar
- 🧈 ¼ cup melted butter
- 🌾 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 🧂 Pinch of salt
- 🥄 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 🍋 Zest of 1 lemon
- 🍬 Powdered sugar (for dusting)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners.
2️⃣ In a blender, combine the lemon juice, eggs, milk, coconut, sugar, melted butter, flour, salt, vanilla, and lemon zest. Blend until smooth.
3️⃣ Pour the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling about ¾ full. The mixture will be thin—don’t worry, it thickens as it bakes!
4️⃣ Bake for 22-25 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but slightly jiggly.
5️⃣ Let the pies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
6️⃣ Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and serve!
