Super easy lemon pie your whole family will love

Condensed milk used to be a staple in our home growing up because my tía-abuela used to use a spoonful of it in her coffee. Sometimes if I was lucky, she would let me have some of the condensed milk that was on the lid of the can when she opened it, or if it was a can that was just about empty, I could enjoy the remnants. As an adult I stary away from condensed milk in my coffee, but I've found that I like to use condensed milk to make an easy and delicious Meyer lemon pie. Bonus is that it pairs excellently with coffee.

Why Meyer lemons as opposed to regular old lemons? Because Meyer lemons are sweeter and less acidic. The texture of this pie ends up being creamy and smooth with a wonderful citrus flavor.
