Air Fryer Lemon Pie

There is nothing better than a Homemade Air Fryer Lemon Pie. It is absolutely delicious. It happens to be one of my favorite spring desserts.

If you love a light, airy, and creamy lemon pie served in a perfectly cooked graham cracker crust, this recipe is for you. I even made homemade whipped cream to go on top. This air fryer dessert is amazing!

This is the perfect air fryer spring or summer dessert, but you can have it anytime with the help of your air fryer.

Air Fryer Lemon Pie

If you have never made a homemade lemon pie before, lemon pie is characterized by a really sweet filling that is placed into a pastry crust.

For a crust, you could either use a traditional graham cracker crust or a butter crust. It is a play on a lemon meringue pie, which is usually filled with a pastry crust, and then lemon curd is in the center of the pie, and then topped with egg meringue.

Ingredients Needed

There are three parts to this recipe: the crust, the filling, and the homemade whipped cream. Each step only takes a few minutes to prepare. When this pie is put together, it’s a unique and tasty dessert.

• Graham Cracker Crust
• Ground Almonds
• Unsalted Butter
• Light Brown Sugar
• Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Egg Yolks
• Lemon Juice
• Lemon Zest
• Kosher Salt
• Heavy Whipping Cream
• Powdered Sugar
• Pure Vanilla Extract

How To Make Air Fryer Lemon Pie

Preheat your air fryer to 325 F, air fryer setting.

Combine the graham cracker crumbs, ground almonds, brown sugar, and butter in a large bowl until well mixed. Press the graham cracker crumbs into the bottom and sides of an air fryer safe pie dish. Put the crust into the freezer while you prepare the lemon filling.

Beat the condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt with an electric or hand mixer on medium speed for 5 minutes. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake in the fryer for 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your pan, or until the filling is cooked through. Allow the pie to cool, then chill the lemon pie in the refrigerator for one hour.

Meanwhile, prepare the whipped cream. Use an electric or hand mixer to whip the heavy cream, confectioners sugar, and vanilla together for several minutes until peaks form, and the cream thickens. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

After the pie has chilled, spread the whipped cream over the top and garnish with a lemon slice or fresh fruit. Enjoy!
