Ingredients

9 whole graham crackers 1 sleeve 8-9 crackers
¼ cup sugar
5 TBS melted butter
28 oz sweetened condensed milk 2 cans
2 egg yolks
¾ cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup sour cream
lemon zest optional topping

For Homemade Whipped Cream

2 cups heavy cream or more if you want extra
3 TBS powdered sugar more or less to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Turn crackers into crumbs in your food processor or smash them with a rolling pin (or other method) in a zip baggie.
Add in sugar and melted butter and pulse or mix until combined.
Place crumbs in your pie dish, patting them down on the bottom at partially up the side of the dish.
Bake for 10 minutes, remover from oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
In your mixing bowl, combine condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice and sour cream and mix on med-low for 2 minutes.
Scrape batter onto cooled crust and place pie dish on a baking sheet (trust me) and bake for 16-20 minutes or until pie is hardly jiggly in very center when you wiggle tray.
Allow pie to cool for 1 hour at room temperature. Then place in your refrigerator (the lower shelf, the colder and quicker the pie will be).
When ready to place whipped cream on pie, whip cream on high for 45 seconds or until cream is stiff, add powdered sugar and beat another 5-10 seconds. Spread or pipe on pie and enjoy!

Notes

Calories will most likely be lower. I say 2 cups heavy cream for the whipped cream however you will not use it all. You can certainly cut that in half. Same with the powdered sugar.

Chill low in your fridge for fastest set up. Wait until pie cools on counter then place in fridge uncovered or in a pie carrier. Since cold air falls (while heat rises), the lower in your fridge you place it. The colder it will be.

Add whipped cream just before serving for prettiest presentation. The cream will hold nicely in fridge for a day or two if you do choose to top it before.

If you have pastry tips, use a nice bug star tip to pipe the whipped cream.
