Why You’ll Love This Mini Baby Lemon Impossible Pies Recipe

These mini pies deliver the perfect balance of citrus brightness and sweet creaminess, all in one adorable package. They’re incredibly simple to prepare, require minimal cleanup, and bake up beautifully in muffin tins. Best of all, they freeze well, so you can always have a stash ready for when lemon cravings strike.

Can I Use Bottled Lemon Juice Instead of Fresh?

Fresh lemon juice is definitely the star here. It offers vibrant acidity and fragrance that bottled juice just can’t replicate. If you’re in a pinch, bottled can work, but the flavor won’t be as bright. Try to use fresh lemons if possible, and don’t skip the zest—it’s the secret to that rich lemon aroma.

Ingredients for the Mini Baby Lemon Impossible Pies

Making these little lemony treats doesn’t require much, but each ingredient plays a special role in creating the magic.

• Granulated Sugar
• All-Purpose Flour
• Butter (melted)
• Large Eggs
• Whole Milk
• Fresh Lemon Juice
• Lemon Zest
• Vanilla Extract
• Salt

The granulated sugar sweetens the pie and helps develop the golden tops. All-purpose flour provides just enough structure without making these too cakey. Melted butter adds richness and aids in forming that signature self-made crust. Eggs give the pies their custardy texture. Whole milk brings creaminess, while fresh lemon juice and zest bring the zing. A touch of vanilla warms it up, and salt balances everything beautifully.

How To Make the Mini Baby Lemon Impossible Pies

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin tin well or use silicone liners for easy removal.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt until fully combined.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4: Combine and Stir

Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry, stirring gently until everything is fully incorporated.

Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tin

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers are just set. The pies will puff slightly and then settle.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Allow the pies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if you’d like, and serve chilled or at room temperature.

How to Store and Serve Mini Baby Lemon Impossible Pies

These little pies are best enjoyed chilled straight from the fridge or at room temperature. They’re the perfect grab-and-go sweet. One batch makes about 12 mini pies, so they’re ideal for small gatherings or weekly dessert prep.

To store, place cooled pies in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped, then thaw in the fridge when ready to enjoy.
