Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cups Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Graham cracker crumbs (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix 1.5 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 0.25 cups of granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, making sure to press it firmly along the bottom and the sides.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, using an electric mixer.

Step 6

Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk while continuing to beat, ensuring the mixture is smooth.

Step 7

Stir in 0.5 cups of fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the filling to set.

Step 9

Before serving, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream in a clean bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.

Step 10

Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar to the whipped cream and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Step 11

Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly over the chilled pie filling. Optionally, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs over the whipped cream for garnish.

Step 12

Serve chilled and enjoy your slice of Morg’s Diner Graham Cracker Pie!
