Indulge in the refreshing taste of this delightful homemade lemonade pie! Perfect for warm days and gatherings, it's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. 🍋🥧
Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 can (12 oz) sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 ½ cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
For garnish (optional):
Lemon slices
Fresh mint leaves
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch pie pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
2. For the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until everything is evenly moistened.
3. Press the mixture into the base and up the sides of the pie pan to create the crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until it turns golden and is set. Take it out of the oven and let it cool completely.
4. For the filling: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it's smooth and creamy.
5. Add the sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing until all ingredients are well combined.
6. Carefully fold in the whipped topping until the filling is light and fluffy.
7. Pour the lemon mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
8. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to let the filling set.
9. Before serving, feel free to garnish with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves if you like.
Enjoy this delicious treat with family and friends! 🍰✨
