This Weight Watchers-friendly recipe features a buttery graham cracker crust filled with a luscious, velvety lemon custard made from reduced-fat sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and a hint of zesty lemon peel. Topped with a pillowy layer of fat-free whipped topping, this pie is the ultimate combination of sweetness and citrusy brightness.

Each slice of this refreshing dessert is chilled to perfection, offering a guilt-free indulgence in every bite.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the reduced-fat sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and egg yolks until well combined and smooth.
Pour the lemon mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour.
Once cooled, spread the thawed fat-free whipped topping evenly over the top of the pie to create a fluffy layer.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
Slice into 8 equal pieces and serve chilled. Optional: Garnish with additional lemon zest or thin lemon slices for decoration before serving.
