Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Whipped cream and lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
- Prepare the lemon filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the lemon filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Serve: Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and lemon slices if desired.
