Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 packages instant lemon pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- 1.5 cups whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 4 slices lemon slices (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
Step 3
Melt the unsalted butter and pour it into the graham cracker mixture. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and have the consistency of damp sand.
Step 4
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish to form the crust.
Step 5
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 6
In a large bowl, whisk together the instant lemon pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture is thick and smooth.
Step 7
Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped cream until no streaks remain, creating a light and fluffy filling.
Step 8
Pour the lemon pudding mixture into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Step 9
Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of whipped cream over the top of the pie for garnish, or pipe it decoratively, if desired.
Step 10
Sprinkle the lemon zest over the whipped cream for added color and flavor.
Step 11
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Step 12
Before serving, garnish with lemon slices, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
