Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) pre-made graham cracker crust
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (approximately 2–3 lemons)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for added flavor)
- 1 (8 oz) container of Cool Whip or whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and fresh lemon juice. Mix until well combined and the mixture begins to thicken.
- Stir in the lemon zest if using, to enhance the citrus flavor.
- Fold in Whipped Topping:
- Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip or whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the lemon filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
- Chill:
- Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, let it chill overnight.
- Serve:
- Once set, slice and serve chilled. Garnish with additional whipped topping or lemon slices if desired.
Notes
- For a more intense lemon flavor, consider adding up to 3/4 cup of lemon juice, adjusting to taste.
- Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed before incorporating for a smoother filling.
- This pie can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
