Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.75 cup Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture has a wet sand texture.

Step 2

Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or a flat glass to press it down tightly.

Step 3

Refrigerate the crust for at least 15 minutes to allow it to set.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. The mixture will thicken as you stir.

Step 5

Pour the lemon filling into the chilled crust and spread it into an even layer with a spatula.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This will create a fluffy whipped topping.

Step 7

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the lemon filling. Smooth the top or create decorative peaks, as desired.

Step 8

Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to firm up properly.

Step 9

Slice and serve cold. Optionally, garnish each slice with additional lemon zest or thin slices of lemon.
