Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F
  • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well-mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. I like to start with the edges and then flatten the base
    1 ¾ cups graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread it out evenly.

  • Bake the pie for 20 minutes, or until the filling is set in the edges and slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate it for at least 2 hour before serving.
  • Before serving, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie and serve.
