Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs Crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers can be used as substitutions.

For the Filling

  • 0.5 cups Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice Fresh juice is best.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Zest Intensifies the lemon flavor.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Make sure it's softened for easy blending.
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream Whipped to stiff peaks.
Optional Garnishes
  • 1 tablespoon Extra Lemon Zest Adds a beautiful finish.
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream A dollop complements the pie perfectly.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Mix until fully coated and press into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Using an electric mixer, whip softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into the lemon mixture to maintain lightness.
  4. Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. Before serving, garnish with extra lemon zest or whipped cream for added appeal.
