Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.33 cups lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1.5 cups whipped cream
- fresh fruit or chocolate shavings (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then set it aside to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.
Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon juice, and continue to beat until the filling thickens slightly and is well combined.
Pour the cream cheese filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow it to set properly.
Before serving, top the pie with a generous layer of freshly whipped cream.
Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, or any topping of your choice.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your dreamy dessert!
