This Easy Lemon Cream Pie is a bright and tangy dessert featuring a creamy lemon filling nestled in a graham cracker crust, topped with homemade whipped cream. With minimal baking and simple ingredients, it’s a delightful treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Base

  • 1 (9-inch) deep dish prepared graham cracker crust

Filling

  • 2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Preheat the oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and sour cream until smooth. Gradually add the fresh lemon juice and continue whisking until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
  2. Bake the Pie: Pour the lemon filling into the prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, just until the filling sets slightly.
  3. Cool and Chill: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to let it fully set and chill.
  4. Make the Whipped Cream Topping: Just before serving, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together in a bowl until stiff peaks form, creating a light fluffy whipped cream.
  5. Serve: Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chilled pie and serve immediately for a refreshing and creamy dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best tangy flavor in the filling.
  • Do not overbake the pie; the filling should just set to maintain creaminess.
  • For an extra touch, garnish the pie with lemon zest or thin lemon slices.
  • The pie must be refrigerated for at least 4 hours for optimal texture.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days.
