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!
