Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 250 grams cream cheese
- 400 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large lemons
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
Prepare the crust by melting the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan to create an even crust. Refrigerate the crust for at least 10 minutes to set.
While the crust chills, prepare the lemon filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese and continue mixing until fully combined and smooth.
Juice the 3 lemons to yield approximately 120 milliliters of fresh lemon juice. Slowly add the lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture, mixing on low speed. The acidity of the lemon juice will thicken the mixture slightly.
Add the lemon zest to the mixture and fold it in gently.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture in 2-3 additions, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
Pour the lemon filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the filling is fully set.
Before serving, optionally garnish the top with additional lemon zest or small lemon slices for decoration.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Limon Delight!
