Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 can(s) sweet condensed milk
10 egg yolks
2 c pure lemon juice
1 Tbsp pure vanilla flavoring
2 box real vanilla wafers
1/2 stick pure butter

Steps:

  • 1. CRUST: Finely crush 1/2 box of vanilla wafers. Then coarsely chop the remaining 1/2 of the box of vanilla wafers.
  • 2. In a small saucepan on low heat, melt 1/2 stick of pure butter.
  • 3. Using a mixing bowl, mix the crushed wafers and butter together, then spread evenly over the bottom of a 13x9 glass pan.
  • 4. Place in refrigerator for 15-30 min. to allow the crust to set.
  • 5. FILLING: Open all 5 cans of the sweet condensed milk. Pour all the milk in a large mixing bowl.
  • 6. Add the vanilla flavoring. Gradually stir in the lemon juice until completely blended (you may not use all of it).
  • 7. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
  • 8. Stir in the egg yolks. The mixture should be slightly stiffening up by now.
  • 9. Once the filling is complete, line the sides of the glass pan with whole vanilla wafers.
  • 10. Now pour in the lemon filling in the pan.
  • 11. Once the pan is full with the lemon filling, crush a few vanilla wafers on top of the lemon custard for decoration.
  • 12. Cover with SaranWrap to prevent a film from developing while chilling in the fridge.
  • 13. Place the lemon custard dessert in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours or until set. Enjoy!
