Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs (sugar-free)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Sugar substitute (granulated, such as erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cup Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well incorporated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, using the back of a spoon or your fingers to press it firmly. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar substitute together using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Slowly add the heavy whipping cream to the cream cheese mixture, beating continuously until thick and fluffy.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, allow it to chill overnight.
Before serving, optionally garnish with additional lemon zest or a dollop of sugar-free whipped topping. Slice and serve chilled.
