This is by far the best lemon pie you will ever make! With its creamy lemon custard filling topped with whipped cream, it is the perfect dessert for lemon lovers.
Perfect for any occasion, this lemon pie is surprisingly very easy to make. You will love the amazing contrast between the sourness of the lemon juice and the sweetness of the condensed milk. It is perfection in every bite.
I made this recipe with a homemade graham cracker crust but you can also make it with a crushed cookie crust.
