Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.75 cup Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream (very cold)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a measuring cup or a flat-bottomed glass to press it firmly. Place the crust in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture in three additions. Mix until fully incorporated, but avoid deflating the whipped cream.
Pour the filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set.
Once set, garnish the pie with extra whipped cream, lemon slices, or fresh mint leaves, if desired, before serving.
