Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
Filling
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
Whipped Cream
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Garnish
  • lemon slices for garnish

Equipment

  • Pie Dish (9-inch)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to set.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and thickened.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture until fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm and perfectly chilled.
  8. Garnish with lemon slices before serving.

Notes

For a stronger lemon flavor, increase the zest or add a splash of lemon extract. This pie is also delicious topped with fresh berries!
