Equipment

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Filling

  • 1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

  • Pour the lemon filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Ensure the filling is evenly distributed.
  • Cover the pie with plastic wrap, ensuring it doesn't touch the surface of the filling. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serving
