Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients 

For the Crust - (or use a 9-inch store-bought crust)

  • 1 ½ cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter

For the Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened, room temperature
  • 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest , plus more to decorate

Instructions

For the Pie Crust (or use a 9-inch pre-made graham cracker crust)

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and mix until combined.
  • Press mixture into and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
  • No-Bake Pie: For a no-bake pie crust, place the crust in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to chill.

For the Filling:

  • In a stand mixer or medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy.
  • Add condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth.
  • Pour the filling into the pie crust and smooth the top evenly.

  • Garnish with whipped cream, lemon wedge, zest, and mint leaves if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for the smoothest results.
  • Bottled lemon juice can be substituted if needed. Use a good quality lemon juice like Santa Cruz Lemon Juice.
