Ingredients

1 Graham Cracker Crust store-bought premade 10"
14 ounces Sweetened Condensed Milk
16 ounces Cream Cheese softened & room temperature
⅓ cup Lemon Juice 2 large lemons
3 teaspoons Lemon zest from 1 of the lemons

Instructions

Once the cream cheese has softened, remove the plastic covering from the graham cracker crust - set aside.
1 Graham Cracker Crust
In a medium mixing bowl add the filling ingredients & on medium speed combine until smooth.
Reserve some of the zest to add to the top later - optional.
14 ounces Sweetened Condensed Milk, 16 ounces Cream Cheese, ⅓ cup Lemon Juice, 3 teaspoons Lemon zest
Pour the filling into the pie crust and smooth out so it is evenly distributed and comes up just the the edge.
Flip the plastic lid so it creates a dome over the crust and press the foil edges down to seal.
Refrigerate the pie for 4+ hours. Once it is set and firm, including in the middle, it is ready.
Slice and plate - enjoy immediately while cold & set.
TIP: if the pie is still not firm enough pop it into the freezer for 20+ minutes & then it will slice easily & hold its shape.

Notes

STORING & SERVING:

This pie will last in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
For a firmer slice that holds shape (and a colder texture) pop the pie in the freezer for 20 minutes & then slice.

VARIATIONS:

Top with whipped cream or Cool Whip & a thin slice of lemon for garnish
Make a homemade graham cracker crust with crushed pieces & melted butter pressed tightly in a pie pan.
Prefer lime - use lime juice & zest instead (key limes, oh yeah!)
