Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press approximately 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each serving glass or small jar to create the crust layer. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
To layer the pies, spoon or pipe 2 tablespoons of lemon curd over the graham cracker crust in each glass. Spread evenly.
Top the lemon curd with an equal layer of whipped cream, spreading it evenly or piping it for a decorative look.
Repeat the layers of lemon curd and whipped cream if the glasses are tall enough, finishing with a whipped cream layer on top.
Garnish each layered pie with a sprinkle of lemon zest for a burst of color and flavor.
Chill the layered lemon pies in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
Serve cold and enjoy the refreshing, creamy, and citrusy dessert!
