Graham Cracker Crust

Mix together the ground graham crackers, sugar, and salt. Then stir in the melted butter until evenly combined. Press the crust into a 9″ pie dish, covering the bottom and sides. Place in the refrigerator while we make the filling.

Lemon Pie Filling

In a medium bowl using a fork, mash the cream cheese until spread out. Then stir in the sweetened condensed milk. Once roughly combined, switch to a whisk and vigorously mix until completely smooth. Then whisk in the zest and juice until well combined.

In a separate bowl using a hand or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and milk powder if using. Whip on high speed until light, fluffy, and smooth with firm peaks, about 2 minutes. Careful not to over whip as the mixture should still be smooth and creamy.

Scoop half of the whipped cream into the lemon mixture and use a rubber spatula to fold to combine.

Spread 1/3 of the filling into the bottom of the chilled crust. Place a layer of cookies on top, breaking some of the cookies to cover as much of the surface as possible.

Spread another 1/3 of the filling on top and place another layer of cookies on top.

Finish with a final layer of the lemon filling and then top with the remaining whipped cream. The filling will likely overtake the crust but that’s ok! We’re making a big, thick pie.

Sprinkle the top with some crushed cookies and chill uncovered overnight. The next day, serve chilled and enjoy!
