Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 0.75 cups Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Additional raspberries, for garnish
- optional Lemon slices or zest, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.
Pour the lemon cream filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the pie for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Before serving, prepare the whipped cream topping by beating the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly over the chilled pie.
Decorate the top of the pie with fresh raspberries and optional garnishes like lemon slices or additional zest.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Creamy Lemon Raspberry Pie!
