Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Crust

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  3. 3

    Make the Filling

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

  4. 4

    Combine and Pour

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

  5. 5

    Chill the Pie

    Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Whipped Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the pie is set, top with the whipped cream and serve chilled. Enjoy!
