Description

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (1 package, 13 rectangle graham crackers)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 cans (14-ounces each) sweetened condensed milk, about 2 1/2 cups
• 3 large egg yolks
• 2/3 cup lemon fresh lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
• Pinch salt
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust, combine all the ingredients together in a small bowl and stir until the graham cracker crumbs are evenly moistened; the mixture will look like wet sand.
• Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and all the way up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8 minutes until just lightly golden.
• For the filling, in a medium bowl with a handheld electric mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice and salt together for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Lightly tap the bottom of the bowl 2-3 times on the counter to pop any little air bubbles.
• Pour the filling evenly into the baked crust.
• Bake the pie for 10 minutes.
• Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely. Cover the top lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• For the whipped topping, beat the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla together with a handheld electric mixer, electric stand mixer or a blender until it is fluffy and soft peaks form.
• Spread the whipped cream evenly over the pie or serve a dollop of the whipped cream on each individual piece. Garnish with raspberries if desired.
