• 1.5 cups Cold milk
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons Fresh lemon zest
• 1 cups Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• 3 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.

Place the crust in the oven and bake for 8 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.

Step 6

Add the heavy whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture and continue beating until light and fluffy. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together the lemon pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken.

Step 8

Stir the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest into the pudding mixture, combining thoroughly.

Step 9

Pour the lemon mixture over the cream cheese layer, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 10

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 11

Before serving, optionally garnish the pie with whipped cream and lemon slices for a decorative touch.

Step 12

Slice, serve, and enjoy the zesty, creamy layers of this delightful pie!
