Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cups heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cups lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- optional whipped cream (for garnish)
- optional lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press it down evenly. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy whipping cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk or beat with a handheld mixer until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Remove the chilled crust from the freezer and pour the lemon filling evenly into the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until completely firm.
Before serving, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly.
If desired, garnish the pie with dollops of whipped cream and slices of lemon for a decorative touch.
Slice and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer tightly covered.
