Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs for the crust
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar for the crust
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 0.5 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest finely grated
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream for topping
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar for topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
  • Bake the crust for 8 minutes, then let it cool slightly.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and egg yolks until smooth.
  • Pour the lemon filling into the prepared crust and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until set.
  • Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over the chilled pie.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can garnish the pie with additional lemon zest or thin lemon slices.
