Creamy Lemon Pie Recipe​

Ingredients:​

For the crust:

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• ½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 4 large egg yolks

For the topping:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:​

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
3. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.
4. Bake the Pie: Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.
5. Whip the Topping: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie, creating soft swirls for a decorative touch.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve this delightful pie chilled. Each bite promises a creamy, tangy explosion of flavor that’s sure to impress!

Voilà! You've just made a luscious Creamy Lemon Pie that’s bound to be a hit at any gathering. Enjoy every refreshing bite!
