CREAMY DREAMY LEMON PIE

By shygirl

Ingredients

• 8 whole graham crackers
• 3 tbsp. butter
• 1 (14 oz. can) of sweetened condensed milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. lemon zest
• Whipped cream (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Begin by crushing the graham crackers by pulsing them in a food processor or (like I do) putting them in a large zip lock bag and crushing them with a rolling pin or glass jar. Place the graham crumbs in a small bowl and add the butter. Mix until moistened. Press graham mixture into a 9 inch pie plate (do not use a deep dish pie plate) and place it in the fridge until you are ready to fill it.

Mix together the condensed milk and 2 eggs until smooth and creamy. Add lemon juice and zest and beat all till combined. Pour this mixture into the pie crust.

Bake pie in a preheated oven at 350 deg. for 15 minutes. Cool your pie completely and then refrigerate for best flavor. After cutting and plating the pie I add a little dollop of whipped cream and a little lemon zest onto each piece.
