• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and fully combined.

Step 6

Pour the lemon filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly jiggles in the center when shaken.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to completely set.

Step 9

For the whipped cream topping, use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Step 10

Spread or pipe the whipped cream onto the chilled pie just before serving.

Step 11

Optional: Garnish with lemon slices, zest, or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs for an extra decorative finish.

Step 12

Slice and serve your Sue's Lemon Pie chilled. Enjoy!
