-
1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
-
In a mixing bowl, combine:
-
Graham cracker crumbs
-
Melted butter
-
Granulated sugar
-
Cinnamon (optional)
-
-
Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
-
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
-
Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes while preparing the filling.
Tip: Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crumbs firmly — it creates a perfect compact crust.
Step 2: Make the Lemon Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
-
Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until fully combined.
-
Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Mix until silky.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture — don’t deflate it!
The filling should be thick, smooth, and airy — like lemon mousse.
