Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

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

  2. 2

    Form the Crust

    Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Make sure it is compact and even.

  3. 3

    Bake the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix the Filling

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

  2. 5

    Add Sugar and Vanilla

    Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Heavy Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

  4. 7

    Add Lemon Juice

    Finally, fold in the lemon juice to give the filling a bright flavor.

  5. 8

    Fill the Crust

    Pour the filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Topping Preparation

  1. 9

    Prepare the Topping

    Once the pie is set, spread whipped cream evenly over the top of the pie.

  2. 10

    Garnish the Pie

    Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream and arrange fresh fruit on top for decoration.
