Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
For the Filling:
  • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice about 2-3 lemons
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 8-ounce container whipped topping (or homemade whipped cream)
For Garnish:
  • Lemon slices
  • Additional whipped cream
  • Fresh mint leaves optional

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and press firmly into a 9-inch pie pan. Place in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Pour the lemon filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  4. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. For best results, let it chill overnight.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with lemon slices, additional whipped cream, and fresh mint leaves before serving.
