    List of Ingredients




    Frozen lemon cream pie with whipped cream

    Graham cracker crust (or use a prepared graham cracker pie crust)

    Graham Crackers - 1 1/2 cups, crumbed (about 13-14 full cracker sheets; use a processor to crumb them)
    Sugar - 3 Tblsp.
    Butter - 3 Tblsp., melted

    Filling

    Egg Yolks - 3
    Sweetened Condensed Milk - 1 (14-oz.) can
    Lemon Juice - 1/2 cup (about 3 large lemons squeezed)

    Whipped cream (or use prepared whipped topping)

    1 cup heavy or whipping cream
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla

    Recipe




    Crust

    Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a medium bowl and blend well with a fork.

    Add melted butter and blend until thoroughly mixed.

    Pour into a spring-form pan and press down firmly on the bottom (do not go up the sides).

    Lightly spray or rub oil onto the sides of the pan from the crust up.

    You could use a regular pie pan, in which case you should press crumbs on the bottom and the sides.

    Filling

    Beat all ingredients for 2 minutes on medium speed.

    Pour on top of the crust.

    Bake for about 30 minutes, until set and edges are slightly brown.

    Remove and cool completely.

    Whipped cream

    Chill a deep bowl, the cream and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes.

    Whip cream on medium speed until it is just getting stiff (no longer a liquid). This takes about 2 minutes, more or less depending on conditions.

    Add the sugar and vanilla. Whip on medium until stiff peaks form (1-2 minutes). Stop as soon as the stiff peaks form, as butter will form if you beat too long.

    Final steps

    Spread the whipped cream evenly over the completely cooled pie.

    Place in the freezer, ideally for 2 or more hours.

    About 15-20 minutes before serving, remove from the freezer and run a butter knife around the edges and unlock the latch of the springform pan. Place the pie (still on the bottom of the pan) on a serving plate. If you are using a regular pie pan, r a prepared pie crust, simply leave the pie in the pie pan.

    Let thaw at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.

    Serve and enjoy.

    Freeze or refrigerate leftovers.
