This is not just lemon pie, okay?
This is BLENDER lemon pie and it is for people who are honestly just too lazy to make pie. Eggs, butter, sugar, and literally a WHOLE LEMON get buzzed up in the blender and baked in a pie crust, and I swear what comes out of the oven is nothing short of springy, custardy, simple lemon magic.
My grandma passed away a few years ago, but she used to call this Arizona Blender Lemon Pie, because, as you might recall if you are a longlonglongtime reader, she had lemon trees in her Arizona backyard, and she loved lemon desserts as I will remind you by pointing you in the direction of one of my first ever POY recipes.
My grandma had a heart for bringing people together around food while also having exactly zero time for anything fancy or fussy. This recipe is so 100% her. Fresh Arizona lemons, a blender and a pre-made pie crust, and there. You have a simple and beautiful pie on the table.
I actually have this recipe on a little notecard in her handwriting. Just… the best. ♡
Grandma = love = lemon pie.
How To Make Blender Lemon Pie
Okay, here we go. Eggs, butter, sugar, lemons. And a splash of vanilla if you’re feeling extra. A store-bought pie crust if you don’t do homemade (I don’t).
I picked all five of these ingredients up for a steal at ALDI – and by picked these ingredients up I mean my Instacart shopper picked these ingredients up and brought them right to my front door because grocery delivery is life.
If you’re a first-time ALDI Instacart shopper, PAY ATTENTION!
You can grab $10 off your first ALDI order of $35 or more – just use the code ALDIPOY at checkout.
Boom. Ten dolla in your pocket.
Bonus: YOU CAN USE THAT CODE 3x. Enjoy your extra $30!
Next up: we blend. YES THE ENTIRE LEMON GOES IN THERE! I know. Trust.
Once it’s blended: pour into a crust. Bake and cool. Yada yada yada.
And then onto the good part:
Your first, creamy, custardy, perfectly lemony bite. Important point of discussion: why is the top triangle bite always the best?
BRB cannot get enough.
All hail the Blender Lemon Pie! A springy, lemony, ridiculously creamy lemon pie on the table with no fancy fussing is my exact hope and dream for you this spring.

Blender Lemon Pie
- Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
- Yield: 10 slices 1x
Description
Blender Lemon Pie! Eggs, butter, sugar, and a WHOLE LEMON blended up and poured into a crust. Springy, custardy, simple lemon magic.
Ingredients
- 4 Simply Nature Organic Cage Free Grade A Large Brown Eggs
- 1/2 cup Countryside Creamery Salted Butter, melted
- 1 whole lemon (see notes)
- 1 1/4 cups Simply Nature Organic Cane Sugar
- splash of vanilla (optional)
- unbaked 9-inch Bake House Creations Pie Crust
- powdered sugar and lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Blend: Cut the lemon into sections so you can remove the seeds. Put everything in the blender (yes, the whole lemon, rind and everything!) and blend until very smooth. You may still have some very small flecks of lemon rind – that’s great.
- Bake: Unroll pie crust and press into a 9-inch pie pan. Pour filling into the pie crust. Bake for 45 minutes or until set. Dust with powdered sugar and fancify the whole thing with a lil lemon slice or twist. Serve warm (it’ll be a little looser) or chilled for about 2 hours (thicker, more dense, and my personal preference).
Notes
Lemons and Bitterness: We used a whole, regular lemon for this recipe. The white part of the lemon is the most bitter. If you’re sensitive to bitter foods and your lemon has a thick rind, we’d recommend peeling away part (or all) of that white rind. When we’re able to get lemons with thinner rinds, we have no issue blending in the lemon in full.

One More Thing!
This recipe is part of our collection of easy dessert recipes. Check it out!
We made this pie. We threw it in our woods for the animals to eat. By human standards it was wholly inedible. We followed the directions precisely with no deviations. Now at least I know to not use this site any longer.
I always use a Meyer lemon… no bitter taste! And a graham cracker crust! Just delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
So I love the ease of making this. I did remove all of the white from the lemon because the rain was pretty thick. Unfortunately, it’s almost too sweet and I have a sweet tooth. I was just wondering if I had left a half of the white Rhine in the recipe if that would have cut the sweetness or just make it a bittersweet. If I cut the amount of sugar, what would you recommend for making adjustments on the recipe?
can you use an orange instead of lemon?
That should work!
I use this recipe to make lemon curd from my prolific Meyer lemon tree. Use a high power blender and blend until the sides feel hot (for cooking the eggs) and that’s it. Easiest best lemon curd.
I have made your carrot muffins many times and love them. Could I use a biscuit crumb crust for this? We dont have store- bought pie crusts in South Africa!
Yes, definitely!
Was wondering if you could put a meringue on top?
Love that idea!
I’ve never made a lemon pie before but this sounded delicious and it was amazing! Thanks so much for sharing! I only had a deep dish pie plate so it came out super dense. Basically just need very small slices!
Very confused the index card says 2 cups of sugar but in the ingredients break down it says 1 1/4??? Which is it?
I have made this pie 4 times in the 30 days since I found the recipe. It is incredible.
Need all the no bake recipe for pies expically for Peanut butter pie you have.
If I were to use a deep dish pie crust/plate, would you suggest doubling the ingredients ? I would also increase the cooking time to adjust also. Thank you!
This was the best lemon pie that I ever had and it was as easy as stated. However after reading the reviews and saw some ended up with a bitter pie, I took the precaution of removing 90% of white pith and I added 1/2 cup more sugar. It was excellent. I froze half for the next weekend. It was just as good if not better.
On our first try we made the pie as directed but it was too bitter. We tried again with the zest from two lemons and cut off all the rind and sectioned and used just the lemon sections without membranes from the two lemons. We made it with a purchased graham cracker pie crust. It was delicious and had no bitter taste.
How do you store the few leftover pieces?
No not yet but I will! 🤔 Think I will start with that GREAT sounding lemon pie! After all “life is short why not start with dessert!” Thanks for sharing. 😉👍
Has anyone tried to do a meringue on top? Thanks
Best lemon pie ever!!!!
I made this pie for Easter it was incredibly easy and tastes similar to a lemon bar or lemon meringue without meringue.
Thank you!
Its a lil wiggly inthe middle
Fantastic! Made with Meyer Lemons. The easiest pie I have ever made and one of the most delicious.
This is the worst pie I’ve ever made! No one took more than one bite, the bitterness from the pith was overwhelming.
Can this pie be made into mini pies? How long would you suggest baking the mini pies?
Hi, Robin! Good idea! We haven’t tried mini pies with this recipe before, but if you try it out, we’d love to hear more!
I made this pie today but before I did I read the reviews. I wonder if Meyer Lemon would work better because they tend to be sweeter. I added a clementine with a regular lemon and it turned out amazing!!!
I was so looking forward to making this pie as I love lemon so much! I finally made it tonight and was so disappointed. It was so easy to make and looked nice when it was done, but that first bite hit me with the bitterness. I even had sprinkled some True Lemon into the mix, but even that didn’t drown the bitterness. But, I won’t give up – next time I will peel the lemons and just add some of the lemon zest instead. Hopefully that will make it slightly tart like a lemon pie should be! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
