Description

This Easy Lemon Cream Pie Delight is a luscious and refreshing dessert featuring a creamy, tangy lemon filling nestled in a buttery graham cracker crust. Topped with a cloud of freshly whipped cream, it’s a perfect balance of sweet and tart that comes together quickly with minimal baking time, making it an ideal treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) deep dish prepared graham cracker crust

Filling

  • 2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350° F (175° C) to prepare for baking the pie filling gently.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and sour cream until the mixture is smooth. Gradually add the fresh lemon juice while whisking continuously until the filling is thickened and creamy.
  3. Fill and bake: Pour the lemon mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes until the edges are slightly set but the center remains creamy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature.
  4. Chill the pie: After cooling, refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set completely and develop its full flavor and texture.
  5. Prepare the whipped topping: Just before serving, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form, creating a smooth and fluffy topping.
  6. Top and serve: Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly over the chilled pie. Serve immediately and enjoy the bright, creamy lemon dessert.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor and natural tartness.
  • Ensure the pie cools completely before refrigerating to avoid condensation affecting the texture.
  • For a zestier filling, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of lemon zest to the mixture.
  • For added texture, garnish the pie with lemon slices or grated lemon zest before serving.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
