Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cups Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the texture resembles wet sand.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the crumb mixture for topping and press the remaining mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy whipping cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the mixture until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the crust from the freezer and pour the lemon filling over the crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs over the top of the lemon filling.
Cover the dish with foil or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the dessert is fully set.
Before serving, let the Frozen Lemon Crunch sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Cut into squares and serve cold.
