Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 4 egg yolks
• 0.5 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Pour the lemon filling into the cooled crust and use a spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours, or until chilled and set.

Step 9

Before serving, prepare the whipped cream topping. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Step 10

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie, and optionally garnish with thin slices of lemon or extra lemon zest.

Step 11

Slice and serve Lois's Magic Lemon Pie chilled for the ultimate refreshing dessert!
