Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cups fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 cup whipped cream, for topping (optional)
• 1 as needed lemon slices or zest for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to press it down evenly.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly while preparing the filling.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the lemon filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake the pie for 12 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly jiggles in the center.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.

Step 9

Top the chilled pie with whipped cream, if desired, and garnish with lemon slices or additional lemon zest.

Step 10

Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing, citrusy dessert!
