Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 cup Whipped cream, for topping
- Optional garnish: lemon slices or zest
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
Pour the melted butter into the graham cracker mixture and stir until evenly combined, resembling wet sand.
Divide the crumb mixture evenly among 12 standard muffin cups, pressing firmly into the bottom to form a crust. Place in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the bowl. Beat together until fully combined and smooth.
Remove the muffin pan from the refrigerator. Spoon the lemon cream mixture evenly over the prepared crusts, smoothing the tops as needed.
Return the muffin pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the pies are firm.
Once set, carefully remove the mini pies from the muffin cups. (Use a butter knife to gently loosen the edges if necessary.)
Top each mini pie with a dollop of whipped cream before serving. Garnish with lemon slices or additional zest, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy these tangy, no-bake lemon cream pies!
