Description
A delightful dessert featuring a creamy lemon filling layered with a buttery graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers (about 8 full sheets)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Fresh berries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In another bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture until fully combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- In a separate bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter until well combined.
- In serving glasses or a dish, layer the graham cracker mixture at the bottom, followed by a layer of the lemon cream mixture. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with the lemon cream on top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh berries if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with Greek yogurt.
- Add a layer of fruit puree, such as raspberry or strawberry, between the layers for added flavor and color.
