Ingredients

Scale
  • Crust:
    • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • ½ cup melted butter
  • Lemon Filling:
    • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
    • ½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
    • 1 tbsp lemon zest
    • 3 large egg yolks
  • Whipped Topping:
    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust:
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool completely.
  • Make the Lemon Filling:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and egg yolks until smooth and fully combined. Pour the mixture into the cooled crust.
  • Bake the Pie:
    Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 15-18 minutes, until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Make the Whipped Topping:
    Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled lemon pie.
  • Serve:
    Garnish with extra lemon zest or thin lemon slices if desired. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For a more intense lemon flavor, increase the lemon zest by an additional teaspoon.
  • Chill the pie overnight for the best texture and flavor.
