Ingredients

Scale

Serves 8

  • For the crust:
    • 1 1/2 cups (150 g) graham cracker crumbs
    • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
    • 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • For the filling:
    • 1 (14 oz / 396 g) can sweetened condensed milk
    • 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh lemon juice (about 23 lemons)
    • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
    • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
  • For topping (optional):
    • Whipped cream
    • Lemon slices or zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust:
    • In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
    • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
  2. Make the filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and thickened.
    • Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated and the filling is light and airy.
  3. Assemble the pie:
    • Pour the lemon filling into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  4. Chill:
    • Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm.
  5. Serve:
    • Garnish with whipped cream, lemon slices, or extra lemon zest if desired. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a zestier pie, increase the lemon zest to 2 tablespoons.
  • Use store-bought whipped topping instead of whipping cream for an even quicker option.
  • The pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
