This Easy Lemon Cream Pie features a tangy lemon filling made with sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and fresh lemon juice, nestled in a graham cracker crust. Topped with a fluffy, sweetened whipped cream, this no-fuss dessert is perfect for a light, refreshing treat that requires minimal baking and no complicated steps.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) deep dish prepared graham cracker crust

Filling

  • 2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare filling: Preheat the oven to 350° F. In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and sour cream until smooth. Gradually add the fresh lemon juice, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
  2. Bake the pie: Pour the lemon filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, just until the filling sets slightly. Remove from oven and cool on the counter to room temperature.
  3. Chill the pie: Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to allow the filling to fully set and develop flavor.
  4. Prepare the topping: Before serving, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy whipped cream.
  5. Serve: Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chilled lemon pie. Slice and serve chilled for a bright, creamy dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best tart and bright lemon flavor.
  • Ensure not to overbake; the filling should just set without browning.
  • For a lighter crust, use a reduced-fat graham cracker crust or make your own with less sugar.
  • Whipped cream topping can be stabilized by adding a teaspoon of gelatin if desired to hold its shape longer.
  • Leftovers should be stored covered in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 days for freshness.
