Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the topping:
Whipped cream or whipped topping (optional)
Lemon slices or zest for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, mixing until well combined.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until the filling is smooth and evenly mixed.
Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, you can top the pie with whipped cream or whipped topping if desired. Garnish with lemon slices or zest for an extra touch.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Cream Cheese Lemon Pie!
